Federal law prohibits the purchase or possession of a firearm by persons convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence and those under certain domestic violence restraining orders. The purpose of this investigation is to examine public sentiment about the removal of firearms in the absence of a restraining order or misdemeanor conviction following domestic violence. An experimental vignette design was used in a telephone survey of a cross-sectional statewide sample of 522 community-residing adults in California. Study design and population weights were applied; the findings, thus, are a reasonable approximation for the population of California. In more than 3,500 vignettes, the abusive behavior was judged to be wrong, illegal, or should be illegal (98.7%, 73.1%, and 77.7%, respectively). Although only about one half (56.5%) of the scenarios were thought to merit the issuance of a restraining order, three fourths (77.4%) were thought to merit the removal of firearms. Multivariate analyses indicated greater support for firearms removal when the abuse involved sexual or physical abuse (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] ranged from 2.65 to 5.64) or a gun (AOR = 6.54). Men were the sole population group with significantly lower support for firearm removal following domestic violence (AOR = 0.39). The men who wanted firearms to remain did not differ from other men on any of the measured variables. In sum, there is substantial support, especially when a gun is displayed in a domestic violence incident, for policies requiring the removal of firearms from abusers.
联邦法律禁止被判定犯有轻罪家庭暴力罪的人和处于某些家庭暴力限制令之下的人购买或持有枪支。本调查的目的是研究在家庭暴力发生后，在没有限制令或轻罪定罪的情况下，公众对收缴枪支的看法。在对加利福尼亚州522名居住在社区的成年人进行的全州横断面电话调查中，采用了实验性 vignette 设计。应用了研究设计和总体权重；因此，研究结果是加利福尼亚州总体情况的合理近似值。在3500多个 vignette 中，虐待行为被判定为错误、非法或应该是非法的（分别为98.7%、73.1%和77.7%）。虽然只有大约一半（56.5%）的情况被认为值得发布限制令，但四分之三（77.4%）的情况被认为值得收缴枪支。多变量分析表明，当虐待涉及性虐待或身体虐待（调整后的优势比[AOR]范围为2.65至5.64）或枪支（AOR = 6.54）时，对收缴枪支的支持度更高。男性是唯一一个在家庭暴力后对收缴枪支支持度显著较低的人群组（AOR = 0.39）。希望保留枪支的男性在任何测量变量上与其他男性没有差异。总之，对于要求从施虐者手中收缴枪支的政策，存在大量支持，特别是当家庭暴力事件中出现枪支时。
