Firearm injury refers to physical harm caused by the discharge of a firearm, which includes guns such as pistols, rifles, and shotguns. These injuries can range from minor wounds to severe trauma, often resulting in long-term disability or death. The impact of firearm injuries extends beyond the individual, affecting families and communities. The causes of firearm injuries can vary, including accidental discharges, intentional acts of violence, and suicides. Prevention efforts focus on education, safe storage practices, and legislation aimed at reducing access to firearms for high-risk individuals. Understanding the statistics and risks associated with firearm injuries is crucial for public health initiatives.
