abstract="Since the late 1980s, proponents of severe gun laws have made the argument that gun control is a &quot;public health&quot; issue, and that medical research demonstrates the need for stringent gun controls. The chief proponent of the view that gun control is a public health necessity has been the federal Centers for Disease Control. In this article, the author examines the various &quot;factoids&quot; that have been produced by CDC research.  (This article was originally presented at the annual meeting of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences in Chicago, Illinois, in March 1994.)<p />",
