TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - Need more reasons to curb gun violence? JO - AMA journal of ethics A1 - Nwanaji-Enwerem, Jamaji C. SP - E86 EP - 91 VL - 26 IS - 1 N2 - This collection of images considers complex ethical, public health, and sociopolitical dimensions of firearm injuries. Since many firearm bullets contain lead, visual parallels are drawn between clinical and public health approaches to managing lead poisoning and efforts to reduce gun violence. Like lead toxicity from paint or water, gun violence and toxicity from retained ballistic fragments can adversely influence health and should be a source of concern to clinicians.
