Review reports escalating firearm mortality and psychological trauma in American youth, highlighting the need for legislative reform and community interventions.

Key Points

To examine the growing epidemiological burden and five-year statistical trends of firearm violence in the United States, alongside regulatory and community-based solutions.
Narrative review analyzing national firearm morbidity and mortality statistics, including 2022 surveillance data from the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions.
Synthesis of multi-level risk factors, legislative measures, and community prevention programs.
In 2022, firearm violence resulted in 48,204 deaths across the United States, including 27,032 suicides, 19,651 homicides, 643 legal intervention fatalities, 463 unintentional discharges, and 415 undetermined deaths.
Children and adolescents aged 1 to 19 sustained 2,526 firearm deaths in 2022, experiencing disproportionate rates of violence alongside profound chronic fear, anxiety, and psychological stress.
Violence risk is driven by firearm availability, storage practices, and socioeconomic disparities, indicating that combining background checks and firearm laws with community interventions reduces risk.
