To assess whether there are differences in support for handgun purchaser licensing.
We used data from four waves of online, national polling on gun policy. To estimate differences in support for licensing across groups, we categorised respondents by whether they personally owned a gun, lived in a state with handgun purchaser licensing or lived in a state regulating private sales without a licensing system.
Eighty-four per cent of adults living in states with licensing supported the policy compared with 74% in states without the law (p<0.001). Seventy-seven per cent of gun owners living in states with licensing supported the policy vs 59% of gun owners in states without licensing (p<0.001).
Support for licensing among gun owners living in states with these laws, many of whom have presumably gone through the process, was much higher than gun owners in states without such laws.
评估对手枪购买者许可制度的支持是否存在差异。
我们使用了来自四轮关于枪支政策的在线全国民意调查的数据。为了估计不同群体对许可制度的支持程度差异，我们根据受访者是否拥有枪支、居住在有手枪购买者许可制度的州还是居住在没有许可制度的州来对他们进行分类，对私人销售进行监管。
84%的居住在有许可制度的州的成年人支持该政策，而在没有该法律的州这一比例为 74%（p<0.001）。居住在有许可制度的州的枪支拥有者中有 77%支持该政策，而在没有许可制度的州这一比例为 59%（p<0.001）。
在有这些法律的州，拥有枪支的人中，许多人可能已经经历了这个过程，对许可制度的支持率远远高于没有这些法律的州。
