About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, stronger gun laws correlated with decreased overall firearm mortality, with the strongest correlations for decreased suicides. For firearm suicide, this analyses lend support to policies that regulate firearm sales, transfers, and permitting laws. While some gun law categories were correlated with decreased firearm homicide, sociodemographic factors, such as unemployment, poverty, and insurance status, correlated with larger changes, suggesting policies that address root causes of violence through economic mobility and access to robust social, health, and educational services may be associated with a greater reduction in homicides.
