Abstract Firearm education and gun safety efforts should be enhanced. Psychiatric services must be made easily accessible to suicidal patients. Databases of firearm-related violence should be created. All of these goals can be accomplished without new legislation and without requiring physicians to report gunshot wounds to the police. A law for the mandatory reporting of gunshot wounds will have few benefits, interfere with the care of patients and place physicians in an inappropriate role.
