abstract="The relation between the gun culture and violence has been assessed by the US National academy of Sciences (NAS). It is found that key intervention policies such as gun ownership laws and strategies for firearms education are based on poorly gathered or incomplete data and badly designed trials. The US has the highest rate of firearms-related homicide in the industrialized world. The effectiveness of the strategies designed to prevent gun dangers needs to be tested in the most scientifically rigorous manner.<p />",
