New England Journal of Medicine contorts statistics to absurdly claim that gun deaths are largely caused by NRA members

A popular medical journal recently took a swipe at the Second Amendment with the publishing of a ridiculous letter to the editor that claims firearm-related injuries drop every year during the annual meeting of the National Rifle Association (NRA) – the implication being that law-abiding gun-owners are largely responsible for gun-associated injuries and deaths in the United States.
It was the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) that laid claim to these statistics allegedly showing reductions in firearm injuries during NRA convention dates, particularly among men living in the South and West of the U.S., and in states with the highest rates of gun ownership. The study also claims that gun-related injuries and deaths decrease ever year in the state where the NRA convention is held.
The study goes on to claim that these alleged findings are “consistent” with the authors’ apparent preconceived notion that legal gun owners are complicit in most gun-related accidents – and that these accidents noticeably decrease during “the brief period when many firearm owners and owners of places where firearms are used may be attending an NRA convention.”
“Our results suggest that firearm-safety concerns and risks of injury are relevant even among experienced gun owners,” the study concludes.
It is statistically impossible for the extremely small percentage of legal gun owners who attend NRA conventions to have any noticeable impact on gun injuries and deaths
