Poorer Marksmen in States with Tough Gun Laws

[tsphillips]

Happy Thursday!

From USA Today:
"Study: States with more gun laws have less gun violence"

Because pediatricians from Chicago know what's best.

The study is on mortality.

"Our research gives clear evidence that laws have a role in preventing firearms deaths," said Eric Fleegler, the study's lead investigator and a pediatric emergency doctor at Boston Children's Hospital. "Legislators should take that into consideration."

What about violent crime in general? What about non-fatal injuries?

I think this is the Fleegler quoted in the news:

However, I can't seem to find a link to any published (or pre-publication) research. Can anyone find a link or reference to the actual study? I'd like to read the details on the study's method.
