Excludes Reality by Yu Lu and Jeff R. Temple

A study published in Preventative Medicine by Yu Lu and Jeff R. Temple concludes that “the majority of mental health symptoms examined were not related to gun violence. Instead, access to firearms was the primary culprit.” The first caveat here is that the researchers did not measure or test “gun violence.” They asked respondents – young adults who at one time attended one of seven public high schools in the southern – if they had ever threatened someone with a gun. There is no context for these incidents mentioned in the published study or in the supplementary material, no means questions, specifically when asked of Duwe noted that peer-reviewed to identify if the respondent was young adults, introduce some doubt research showed that individuals with the aggressor in these scenarios or into the validity of the results.
