Researchers found that firearm-related deaths among young people are 35% lower in states where mandatory background checks have been required for at least five years.
Strict firearm legislation could be the answer to a disturbing increase in gun deaths among young people, according to a new study.
In a paper published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, researchers found that firearm-related deaths among young people are 35% lower in states where mandatory background checks have been required for at least five years. It's evidence that measures like universal background checks for firearm and ammunition purchases and identification requirements can significantly reduce the pediatric mortality rate, researchers said.
