The international bulletin
of firearm injury prevention since 1997, Gun Policy News provides daily global and regional bulletins of gun news, firearm policy and small arms-related articles published in mass media. Feel free to display any Gun Policy News feed on your Web site or blog.
The gunpolicy.org Web site is hosted by the
School of Public Health,
the University of Sydney. The school provides internationally recognised
leadership in public health by advancing and disseminating knowledge
― in this case, supporting global efforts to prevent and reduce gun injury.
With our partners, contributors and supporters, gunpolicy.org and Gun Policy News promote the public health model of
firearm injury prevention, and the United Nations Programme of Action on
small arms. |
