Right on! Why not also talk about economic, social and political factors including the shocking absence of real fathers for black males?

Nothing new. Socio-economically deprived people, primarily inner city Blacks, shoot each other a lot. No "research" into the effects of illegal conduct, such as gang violence and drug market violence. Our agenda, as always, is to disarm affluent suburbanites whose contribution to the inner city murder rate is zero. Bullsh*t. But I knew that the instant when I saw Kellerman's name. Is Dr. K still refusing to share his data with bona fide researchers outside the anti-gun in group?

Gun ownership as a risk factor for homicide in the home. N Engl J Med. 1993 - I can't bring myself to go further! Mass Shootings: The Role of the Media in Promoting Generalized Imitation the ending paragraph of the short Abstract, "Here we provide an overview of generalized imitation and discuss how the way in which the media report a mass shooting can increase the likelihood of another shooting event. Also, we propose media reporting guidelines to minimize imitation and further decrease the likelihood of a mass shooting." Quantifying Disparities in Urban Firearm Violence by Race and Place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: A Cartographic Study the ending paragraph of the Abstract, "Conclusions. Profound disparity in exposure to firearm violence by race and place exists in Philadelphia. Black people were substantially more likely than White people to sustain firearm assault, regardless of neighborhood income." Bridging the Response to Mass Shootings and Urban Violence: Exposure to Violence in New Haven, Connecticut Abstract: "We have described self-reported exposure to gun violence in an urban community of color to inform the movement toward a public health approach to gun violence prevention. The Community Alliance for Research and Engagement at Yale School of Public Health conducted community health needs assessments to document chronic disease prevalence and risk, including exposure to gun violence. We conducted surveys with residents in six low-income neighborhoods in New Haven, Connecticut, using a neighborhood-stratified, population-based sample (n = 1189; weighted sample to represent the neighborhoods, n = 29 675). Exposure to violence is pervasive in these neighborhoods: 73% heard gunshots; many had family members or close friends hurt (29%) or killed (18%) by violent acts. Although all respondents live in low-income neighborhoods, exposure to violence differs by race/ethnicity and social class. Residents of color experienced significantly more violence than did White residents, with a particularly disparate increase among young Black men aged 18 to 34 years. While not ignoring societal costs of horrific mass shootings, we must be clear that a public health approach to gun violence prevention means focusing on the dual epidemic of mass shootings and urban violence." That's all that I see.
