abstract="Leading journal Science and magazine Scientific American have simultaneously published impassioned editorials calling for changes to gun laws in the United States.   &quot;The science is abundantly clear,&quot; write the editors of Scientific American. &quot;More guns do not stop crime. Guns kill more children each year than auto accidents. More children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active military members. Guns are a public health crisis, just like COVID, and in this, we are failing our children, over and over again.&quot;  &quot;Scientists should not sit on the sidelines and watch others fight this out,&quot; argues Science editor-in-chief H. Holdenr Thorp. &quot;If children do not feel safe, they cannot learn. And a country that cannot learn cannot thrive. A nation of children threatened by gun violence does not have a future.&quot;<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
