BERKELEY (KRON) — When Nevada has gun shows, California sees a spike in gun-related deaths and injuries, researchers at UC Berkeley said in a study.
They looked at gun deaths and injuries in California before and after gun shows in California and Nevada.
According to them, after shows in California, the Golden State didn’t see a spike in gun deaths and injuries.
But communities within driving distance of Nevada did see an increase after a gun show in the neighboring state.
Researchers found those communities saw deaths and injuries from firearms increased nearly 70 percent.WHAT OTHERS ARE CLICKING ON:
