How COVID-19 Has Increased the Need for Street Outreach Work
From the Summary: "While many cities have reported drops in overall crime rates during the coronavirus pandemic and related stay-at-home orders, gun violence continues to persist in cities across the country. According to an analysis conducted by 'The Trace', between March 1 and April 19 of this year, more than 2,000 deaths attributed to gun violence took place in the United States, a 6 percent increase from 2019. Street outreach organizations have long been at the front lines of gun violence prevention work in our cities and are now battling two pandemics at once, as they also assume the role and face the challenges of being frontline public health workers."

Gun Violence & COVID-19: Colliding Public Health Crises
From the Summary: "The US has seen the collision of two major public health crises: COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] and gun violence. A comprehensive understanding of how this collision will affect Americans and the factors driving the increase in gun violence during the pandemic is still developing, but there are a few takeaways: While millions of Americans rushed out to purchase new firearms in the middle of a global pandemic, thinking they were buying safety, research shows that they are in fact exposing themselves and their families to higher risks of suicide, homicide, unintentional shootings, and intimate partner violence."

Thousands of Preventable Gun Suicides: A Collateral COVID-19 Public Health Crisis
From the Website: "The deep economic downturn caused by COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019], combined with the millions of guns already in homes and the millions more being purchased during each month of the pandemic, is a volatile mix that could exacerbate the risk of firearm suicide. Based on historic precedent, the US risks a 20 to 30 percent increase in firearm suicides, costing the nation an additional 5,000 to 7,000 lives--about 20 more per day--in 2020 alone."

What Search Data Shows About Americans and Guns During the COVID-19 Crisis
From the Introduction: "With millions of Americans staying at home across the country during a crisis of intense emotional and economic stress, gun safety advocates have raised concerns about increased risks of unintentional shootings, domestic violence shootings, gun suicides, and city gun violence. Unprecedented spikes in background checks, meanwhile, reflect a dramatic increase in gun purchasing that compounds these risks. Federal background check data, however, fails to capture the full spectrum of ways that people acquire guns, as well as the number of people who are removing guns from gun lockers or other storage. In an effort to cast additional light on issues of firearm access during this stage of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] crisis, we used real-time Google search data to gauge interest in buying and cleaning guns across the country."
