Firearms are the second leading cause of death among children and adolescents aged 1 to 18 years in the United States and responsible for more than 2570 deaths and nearly 12000 nonfatal injuries requiring emergency department treatment in 2017. Pediatric firearm injuries result from a range of causes, including the unintentional discharge of a firearm, self-inflicted wounds, or the escalation of interpersonal violence. Nearly 265 million firearms are in civilian hands in the United States, and a 44% increase in pediatric firearm mortality rates has been documented during the past 5 years.
