Effective federal regulation of firearm dealers has proven difficult. Consequently, many states choose to implement their own regulations. We examined the impact of state-required licensing, record keeping of sales, allowable inspections, and mandatory theft reporting on firearm homicide from 1995 to 2010. We found that lower homicide rates were associated with states that required licensing and inspections. We concluded that firearm dealer regulations might be an effective harm reduction strategy for firearm homicide.
有效的联邦枪支经销商监管一直难以实现。因此,许多州选择自行制定法规。我们研究了从 1995 年至 2010 年期间,州级要求的枪支经销商许可证、销售记录保存、允许的检查以及强制盗窃报告等法规对枪支凶杀案的影响。我们发现,要求许可证和检查的州,凶杀率较低。我们的结论是,枪支经销商监管法规可能是减少枪支凶杀的有效策略。
