^Somewhere there might be a clue for "reasonable gun safety solutions," instead of treating all citizens as infants or pre-criminals.SEATTLE (AP) — People hospitalized with a gunshot wound are 30 times more likely to come back to the hospital with another firearm injury than those hospitalized for another medical reason, according to a new study from the University of Washington.
Gunshot victims also are twice as likely to be arrested for future violent or firearm-related crime, according to a study by the Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center at the University of Washington.
