Racial and Ethnic Differences in the Effects of State Firearm Laws
Data VizPublished Aug 12, 2024
Despite growing evidence about the impacts of gun policies on firearm-related harms and benefits, little is known about how these effects differ across racial and ethnic groups. It is critical to develop a better understanding of how the effects of firearm policies are distributed across the population. Establishing good evidence on whether differential effects exist will require better data infrastructure and more-rigorous research.
