{{edit COI|A}} "Possession of handguns by country" map
This map is incorrect in regards to Great Britain. In Great Britain it is possible for civilians to acquire any kind of handgun as long as the handgun has some historical, personal or mechanical significance to the collector. It would be reasonable to recolour GB to light red, or even light red and yellow, as this is an exception to the general prohibition. To put it simply: handguns can still be owned for the purpose of collection but not sport. The other exceptions are with antiques, which may be owned without any kind of licence, and muzzle loading handguns including modern muzzle loading handguns.<!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 12:09, April 17, 2022 (UTC)</span>

Graph above citation 35 shows firearm related homicides in developed nations comparing to the USA. How is one to know that this evidence has not been cherry-picked from 35 developed countries with especially low homicide rates to deliberately advance the author’s narrative? What criteria is used to establish a “developed nation?” This figure and the data used to generate it smacks of an inappropriate level of bias 162.255.58.189 (talk) 15:27, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
CNN, the source cited for the graph, cites the UN Country Classification in turn. This lists 36 countries it classifies as 'developed'. I think it is safe to assume that the UN didn't concoct this classification in order to bias one later specific use of it. AndyTheGrump (talk) 15:34, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
Not done: It's from the source cited. Note: Developed countries are defined based on the UN classification, which includes 36 countries.This is the UN definition. The graph is basically a recreation of the graph in the source. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:39, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
It might be helpful to add a section titled "Public Health" to reference a 2022 correspondence between researchers at the. University of Michigan and the New England Journal of Medicine which states that "generational investments are being made in the prevention of firearm violence, including new funding opportunities from the CDC and the National Institutes of Health." The correspondence refers to "funding for the prevention of community violence (that) has been proposed in federal infrastructure legislation" and the researchers emphasize the significance of such policy measures as a preventative public health solution in light of data indicating rising child mortality as a result of firearm related incidents, citing statistical evidence of firearm-related deaths replacing motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of child mortality in 2020.
