A road map to reduce firearm harms by 2040
Since the start of 2021, more than 800,000 people have died from firearm-related injuries in the United States, and over two million have been injured. Recognizing the persistent challenge of gun violence, JAMA and JAMA Network convened a JAMA Summit in March 2025, bringing together thought leaders from medicine, public health, law, industry, and community violence intervention with a singular focus: to chart an innovative road map that will lead to substantial reductions in firearm violence, injuries, and harm in the U.S. by 2040.
