The available evidence suggests that more restrictive state firearm sales laws can reduce criminal access to guns. California has firearm-related laws that are more stringent than many other states and regulates its retail firearms dealers to a unique degree. This research seeks to examine the effect of more restrictive state gun laws and regulations on the illegal diversion of guns to criminals.
Survival analyses are used to determine whether state firearm sales laws, particularly California's legal context and regulatory regime, impact the distribution of time-to-crime of recovered firearms in that state relative to other US states.
USA.
225,392 traced firearms, where the first retail purchasers and the gun possessors were different individuals, recovered by law enforcement agencies between 2003 and 2006.
The increased stringency of state-level firearms laws and regulations leads to consistently older firearms being recovered. California was associated with the oldest recovered crime guns compared with guns associated with other states. These patterns persisted regardless of whether firearms were first purchased within the recovery state or in another state.
These findings suggest that more restrictive gun sales laws and gun dealer regulations do make it more difficult for criminals to acquire new guns first purchased at retail outlets.
现有证据表明，更为严格的州枪支销售法律可减少犯罪分子获取枪支的机会。加利福尼亚州的枪支相关法律比许多其他州更为严格，且对其零售枪支经销商的监管程度独特。本研究旨在探讨更为严格的州枪支法律和法规对枪支非法流入犯罪分子手中的影响。
生存分析用于确定州枪支销售法律，特别是加利福尼亚州的法律背景和监管制度，相对于美国其他州，是否会影响该州追回枪支的犯罪时间分布。
美国。
2003年至2006年间执法机构追回的225,392支有追踪记录的枪支，其最初的零售购买者和枪支拥有者为不同个体。
州一级枪支法律法规的严格程度提高导致追回的枪支使用年限持续增加。与其他州相关的枪支相比，加利福尼亚州追回的用于犯罪的枪支使用年限最长。无论枪支最初是在追回枪支的州还是在其他州购买，这些模式都持续存在。
这些研究结果表明，更为严格的枪支销售法律和枪支经销商监管确实使犯罪分子更难获得最初在零售商店购买的新枪。
