This strongly reaffirms existing research on the lethality of firearms.<\/li><li><strong>Sex:<\/strong> 87 percent of those who visit a hospital for a gunshot wound are male, mostly adolescents and young adults.<\/li><li><strong>Age: <\/strong>Adolescents and young adults, starting at age 15 and peaking in the early 20s, are at highest risk of gun injury.<\/li><li><strong>Race and Ethnicity<\/strong>: Black people, with a rate of 113.8 nonfatal injuries per 100,000 people, have the highest rate of nonfatal gun injuries over 10 times higher than white people. The Latino\/a rate of nonfatal gun injuries is double that of white people.<\/li><li><strong>State:<\/strong> Rates of nonfatal firearm injury vary tremendously, from states with a rate above 60 persons injured per 100,000 people (including Alabama, Washington, DC, Louisiana, and Mississippi) to rates below 10 (as in Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, and New Hampshire).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Full Study:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look, the elephant in the room is that young, black men living in poor parts of large cities are both the victims and the drivers of a lopsided amount of gun violence in America.\u00a0 Any so-called \u201csolution\u201d to the \u201cgun violence epidemic\u201d ought to start by acknowledging this very truth.\u00a0 Politicians, gun-control activists, Hollywood elites, media talking-heads need to stop dancing around this reality and confront it head-on.\u00a0 Then and only then can sustainable progress be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"623\" title=\"Alarming Stats on Nonfatal Gun Injuries\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AssaultRelatedInjuries-1024x623.png\" alt=\"Alarming Stats on Nonfatal Gun Injuries\" class=\"wp-image-138603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AssaultRelatedInjuries-1024x623.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AssaultRelatedInjuries-400x243.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AssaultRelatedInjuries-150x91.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AssaultRelatedInjuries-768x467.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AssaultRelatedInjuries.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To their credit, the authors of this study acknowledged one promising solution that has nothing to do with restricting 2A rights: hospital-based intervention programs that help victims of gun violence with recovery, employment, education, health care, and other basic needs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"485\" title=\"Alarming Stats on Nonfatal Gun Injuries\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Income-1024x485.png\" alt=\"Alarming Stats on Nonfatal Gun Injuries\" class=\"wp-image-138604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Income-1024x485.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Income-400x189.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Income-150x71.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Income-768x364.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Income.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because one-fourth of nonfatal shooting victims under the age of 24 will be shot again within the next 10 years intervention is critical.  What it boils down to is that putting more laws on the books isn&#8217;t going to help the situation, these young men need real support from real people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To break that down further, changing a law does not change one&#8217;s lifestyle.  A gangster doesn&#8217;t stop being a gangster because progressive politicians enacted a law limiting gun purchases to one per month or a law requiring universal background checks.  A gangster will only stop being a gangster when a better path forward becomes imminently attainable.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"738\" title=\"Alarming Stats on Nonfatal Gun Injuries\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1in4.png\" alt=\"Alarming Stats on Nonfatal Gun Injuries\" class=\"wp-image-138605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1in4.png 766w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1in4-311x300.png 311w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1in4-150x145.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To back up the efficacy of such programs, researchers cited a Baltimore study that found \u201cindividuals who did not participate in a hospital program were six times more likely to eventually be re-hospitalized for a violent injury and four times more likely to be convicted of a violent crime than those who did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"719\" title=\"Alarming Stats on Nonfatal Gun Injuries\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/NonFatalByRace-1024x719.png\" alt=\"Alarming Stats on Nonfatal Gun Injuries\" class=\"wp-image-138606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/NonFatalByRace-1024x719.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/NonFatalByRace-400x281.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/NonFatalByRace-150x105.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/NonFatalByRace-768x539.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/NonFatalByRace.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor those who participated, employment rates went up from 39 percent to 82 percent.

That figure was as high as 41 percent prior to Next Step.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with teaching responsible gun ownership in schools, the best way to curb violence, including nonfatal gun injuries, is to fix broken people.  Why &#8220;gun violence prevention&#8221; organizations don&#8217;t spend all their money on programs that aim to achieve that objective is a question worth asking.
