This issue is a key element in the US gun control debate that is currently underway in the academic community; criminologists, economists, political scientists and researchers dealing with broadly understood public health. Research in this area and the data obtained are also one of the pillars arguments of the defenders of the United States' 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. The article uses a selective review of the conclusions of the leading researchers and representatives in this field.(original abstract)
