How to predict future firearms violence amongst the urban youth

The short version: you are an urban youth and if you like to fight, your friends carry guns, you live in an area with frequent gun usage and someone has pulled a gun on you recently; the more likely you are to engage in future firearms violence.  As a side note, this study was done at an ER in Flint, Michigan, and I wonder if the water-borne lead exposure has anything to do with it.

That culture is more toxic than the water in Flint.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

Two phrases guarantee it "turning his life around" and "aspiring rapper"
