Adding information regarding public health dimension of gun legislation. Bcapdevi (talk) 22:20, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
It might be helpful to add a section titled "Public Health" to reference a 2022 correspondence between researchers at the. University of Michigan and the New England Journal of Medicine which states that "generational investments are being made in the prevention of firearm violence, including new funding opportunities from the CDC and the National Institutes of Health." The correspondence refers to "funding for the prevention of community violence (that) has been proposed in federal infrastructure legislation" and the researchers emphasize the significance of such policy measures as a preventative public health solution in light of data indicating rising child mortality as a result of firearm related incidents, citing statistical evidence of firearm-related deaths replacing motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of child mortality in 2020.
Would this information be a helpful addition? The source is at the URL: https://doi.org/10.1056%2FNEJMc2201761. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bcapdevi (talk • contribs) 22:26, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
The map is wrong. It shows Austria as "permissive" but the list has Switzerland, not Austria. I think Austria used to be permissive but the EU set a stop to that? But it looks like a data error to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.134.139.73 (talk) 13:11, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
Ireland
The Ireland section is completely made up. Legislation in Ireland, either the Republic or Northern Ireland, was not driven by the Troubles, the IRA, ending conflicts between Protestants and Catholics, or the 1922 Irish Civil War. It was enacted in both jurisdictions in the normal course of lawmaking. There is nothing to distinguish Ireland from any other country in this respect. Also, the two refs provided in no way support the text. I am removing the section. Scolaire (talk) 17:53, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Change "Topics of gun control and gun rights is often considered with more prevalent of discussions in the United States then other countries, as it is more heavily debated there then anywhere else, However still quite prevalent in other countries such as Canada.[9]" to "Topics of gun control and gun rights is often considered with more prevalent of discussions in the United States then other countries, as it is more heavily debated there then anywhere else, however it is still quite prevalent in other countries such as Canada.[9]" 20:22, 4 December 2025 (UTC)20:22, 4 December 2025 (UTC)~~ Lwashere (talk) 20:22, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
Partly done: I did this: "... there then anywhere else. However, it is still quite prevalent ...
" instead, thanks for pointing this out! --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 20:34, 4 December 2025 (UTC)- I just rewrote the sentence entirely, it was very flawed and also used circular reasoning, basically said that the topics are more prevalent because they are more heavily debated. If you like your version more let me know. Aston305 (talk) 20:35, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
Contradiction
The map in the lead has Austria highlighted as a country with permissive gun laws, but the efn mentions Switzerland instead. One has to be wrong. Maxeto0910 (talk) 16:50, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
