TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Actually, guns do kill people JO - American journal of surgery A1 - Tepas, J. J. SP - 790 EP - 790 VL - 213 IS - 4 N2 - This report is another piece of objective evidence in the mosaic of tragedy caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of guns in our country. Despite the incessant citation of the second amendment, and the constant refrain by gun advocates that the person whose finger pulls the trigger is the killer, American children continue to die from gunshot injury at a rate 42% higher than any other country. The Centers for Disease Control has demonstrated that socioeconomic factors are the major determinants of population health.
