Safe‐Storage Gun Laws: Accidental Deaths, Suicides, and Crime
研究发现安全存放枪支法并未减少青少年意外枪击死亡或自杀，反而因妨碍自卫而增加了针对守法公民的暴力与财产犯罪，且无抵消性收益。
It is frequently assumed that safe‐storage gun laws reduce accidental gun deaths and total suicides, while the possible impact on crime rates is ignored. We find no support that safe‐storage laws reduce either juvenile accidental gun deaths or suicides. Instead, these storage requirements appear to impair people’s ability to use guns defensively. Because accidental shooters also tend to be the ones most likely to violate the new law, safe‐storage laws increase violent and property crimes against law‐abiding citizens with no observable offsetting benefit in terms of reduced accidents or suicides.
