Abstract
Gun violence is the leading cause of death in children under the age of 17, yet it is free of public health regulations because of the American public and political divide on gun control rights. However, this lack of regulations amount for almost 50,000 preventable deaths annually. This commentary urges public health officials, research intuitions, and medical practitioners to recognize gun violence as a public health crisis and call for regulations, research funding, and patient and provider education resources.
