This article argues that state government actors concerned about gun violence prevention should prioritize enactment of robust firearm purchaser regimes at the state level. First, the article outlines the empirical evidence base for purchaser licensing. Then, the article describes how state governments can design this policy. Next, the article assesses the likelihood that purchaser licensing legislation will continue to be upheld by federal courts. Finally, the article addresses the implications of this policy, aimed at curbing gun deaths, for equally important racial justice priorities. Taken together, these various considerations indicate that purchaser licensing policies are among the most effective firearm-focused laws state governments can enact to reduce gun deaths within the existing federal legislative and legal frameworks.
本文认为，关注枪支暴力预防的州政府官员应优先在州一级制定强有力的枪支购买者法规。首先，本文概述了购买者许可的经验证据基础。然后，本文描述了州政府如何设计这项政策。接下来，本文评估了购买者许可立法在联邦法院继续得到支持的可能性。最后，本文讨论了这项旨在遏制枪支死亡的政策对同样重要的种族正义优先事项的影响。总之，这些不同的考虑因素表明，在现有的联邦立法和法律框架内，购买者许可政策是州政府可以制定的最有效的枪支重点法律之一，以减少枪支死亡。
