The more gun laws a state has, the lower its suicide and murder rates, a new U.S. study finds.

Gun violence in the United States is a public health crisis. In 2017, nearly 67,000 Americans died by suicide and homicide. And guns were involved in about half of the suicides and 74% of the murders, the researchers reported.

To assess the association between gun laws and suicide and homicide rates, the researchers analyzed data gathered nationwide from 1991 to 2017. "Evidence-based implementation of firearm regulations across the whole of the United States has the potential to significantly reduce the toll of firearm violence," Hohl added.According to the authors, the researchers were the first to focus on the impact of the total number of firearms regulations in each state.

This is so logic 🤣

Bullshit

Illinois? Seriously?!

How do you explain the gun violence in Chicago, DC, and NYC?

A new study also finds that Illinois was left out of the study

benebarbosa_mvb tu na acha que faltaram dados pra explicar essa notícia?

There are a lot of factors in a state's murder rate. Trying to tie them to gun control laws is ridiculous.

Insightful 👏

Not much data shown in this article.

Seems logical isn't it?

Murder & suicide 👍

Happy for lying to me

Bull, look at Chicago. This is from the Brady foundation so of course they’ll say there’s a correlation.

VancouverBlues Well, duh.
