Are guns a public health crisis? Explain. What groups are most at risk of injury or death from firearms. Discuss why these groups are at risk. Discuss ways that we could mitigate firearm deaths in the US. When we consider the individual right versus the societal benefit, where do you think gun ownership belongs? In other words, do the supposed benefits of gun ownership outweigh the societal risk that guns bring? In the three articles by Dowd-Arrow and his co-authors, were there any individual benefits? What were they? What is the role of research in understanding and solving this particular public health issue? How does the Dickey Amendment impact this research? Should the Dickey Amendment be repealed?
