- Description
This research compares the impact of multiple gun laws at the same time and indicates which laws appear to be most strongly associated with lower rates of firearm homicide. Ultimately, the goal is to identify the types of laws that appear to have the greatest impact. This policy brief will help state policymakers navigate the scientific evidence regarding the impact of state firearm laws on gun-related homicide.
