To the Editor: In 2005, 1453 firearm deaths occurred among children in the United States, accounting for 8.2% of deaths among persons aged 1 to 17 years.1 Mass media have been reported to influence children's behavior toward violence.2 From 1995 to 2002, 34% of the G- and PG-rated movies with the highest US box-office gross revenues depicted use of firearms.3- 4 We examined movies released during 2003 through 2007 to determine whether depiction of firearms in movies marketed for children had changed.
