Simulating the bounds of plausibility: estimating the impact of high-risk versus population-based approaches to prevent firearm injury

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    As the the authors is estimated to have the highest rates of civilian firearm ownership in the world, an alternative to the high-risk approach would be to follow the examples of other countries (e_g, Australia ) and limit access to firearms across the population, regardless of risk, a "population-based approach".
