Abstract

Despite the growing epidemic of firearm-related suicides among children and adolescents (a 60% increase since 2012), US national policymakers continue to embrace a stance of relative inaction.1 Such a stance is a stunning statement of futility for a problem that kills more children in the US each year than the annual death toll from sepsis, influenza, and pneumonia combined.
