Our updated report synthesizes all rigorous studies estimating the causal effects of 18 types of gun laws on suicide, violent crime, mass shootings, defensive gun use, and four other outcomes. https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis.html?utm_campaign=gunpolicy,thread&utm_content=1587528073&utm_medium=rand_social&utm_source=twitter
The lack of reliable information about gun ownership rates in states has hampered the study of gun policy effects. Our model-based estimates of the prevalence of gun ownership may help researchers identify these effects. https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/gun-ownership.html
There is a lot to explore on the Gun Policy in America website, but you can read a summary of the newly added research here: https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/key-findings/additions-and-updates.html
