New study came out. The study finds that bans on modern sporting rifles and standard capacity magazines do not impact violent crime according to this study. However, the study also found a universal background checks were associated with a 14.9% (95% CI, 5.2–23.6%) reduction in overall homicide rates, violent misdemeanor laws were associated with a 18.1% (95% CI, 8.1–27.1%) reduction in homicide, and “shall issue” laws were associated with a 9.0% (95% CI, 1.1–17.4%) increase in homicide. These laws were significantly associated only with firearm-related homicide rates, not non-firearm-related homicide rates. The study was behind a paywall and cost 40 dollars.
