摘要

背景:在 COVID-19 大流行期间,美国枪支销量激增,其中许多人是首次购买枪支。2023 年全国枪支政策调查试图通过比较大流行时期首次购枪者和以前的持枪者的购买动机和枪支政策观点来了解这一激增对公共健康的影响:我们于 23 年 1 月 4 日至 6 月 2 日对美国成年人(n = 3096)进行了一次具有全国代表性的民意调查。我们对持枪者以及黑人、西班牙裔和亚裔美国人进行了超额抽样调查。我们采用了调查加权以得出具有代表性的估计值。新枪支拥有者是通过对以下问题的肯定回答确定的:"自 2020 年 1 月 1 日以来,您是否购买过任何枪支?"和 "您是否在 2020 年 1 月 1 日之后购买了第一支枪?新近购枪者还被问及是否因担心 1) 政治暴力或 2) 种族暴力而购枪。对新枪支拥有者和以前的枪支拥有者(n = 1002)的购枪动机和枪支政策支持进行了调查,并使用逻辑回归和预测概率进行了比较:总体而言,11% 的受访者称自 20 年 1 月 1 日以来购买了枪支,其中 35% 为首次购买。在近期购枪者中,民主党、黑人、亚裔和西班牙裔受访者新购枪支的比例高于共和党或白人受访者。与以前的持枪者相比,新持枪者最近购买枪支的动机是种族暴力的几率要高出 4.5 倍,是政治暴力的几率要高出 3.2 倍。大多数人支持保护性枪支政策,不同购买时间或动机的支持率几乎没有差异。新枪支持有者和旧枪支持有者支持率存在显著差异的唯一一项政策是持证购枪政策(分别为 76% 对 63%)。同样,根据购买动机进行分层时,支持率也几乎没有明显差异。值得注意的是,与没有报告购买动机的人相比,报告最近购买动机为种族暴力和政治暴力的人对 "站在原地 "政策的支持率明显更高:结论:种族暴力和政治暴力似乎是新枪支拥有者更关心的问题,这也是传统上枪支拥有率较低的人口群体购买枪支的动机。这些发现表明,在种族和政治关系紧张以及持枪人数不断增加的情况下,人们需要安全保障。枪支拥有者对此类政策的支持依然强烈。

Political violence, racial violence, and new gun ownership: results from the 2023 National Survey of Gun Policy.

Background: U.S. firearm sales surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, with many purchases by first-time firearm owners. The 2023 National Survey of Gun Policy sought to understand the public health implications of this surge by comparing the purchasing motivations and firearm policy views of pandemic-era first-time purchasers to prior gun owners.

Methods: We fielded a nationally representative public opinion survey of U.S. adults (n = 3096) from 1/4/23 to 2/6/23. We oversampled for gun owners and Black, Hispanic, and Asian Americans. Survey weights were applied to generate representative estimates. New gun owners were identified through affirmative responses to: "Have you bought any guns since January 1, 2020?" and "Did you buy your first gun after January 1, 2020?" Recent purchasers were additionally asked whether concerns of 1) political or 2) racial violence motivated their purchase. Purchase motivations and gun policy support were examined among new and prior gun owners (n = 1002) and compared using logistic regression and predictive probabilities.

Results: Overall, 11% of respondents reported purchasing a gun since 1/1/20, 35% for the first time. Among recent purchasers, larger proportions of Democrat, Black, Asian, and Hispanic respondents were new gun owners than Republican or white respondents. Compared to prior owners, odds were 4.5-times higher that new gun owners' recent purchase was motivated by racial violence and 3.2-times higher for political violence. Majority support was found for protective gun policies, with few differences by purchase recency or motivations. The only policy for which support by new and prior gun owners differed significantly was the permit-to-purchase policy (76% v. 63%, respectively). Similarly, few significant differences in support were observed when stratifying by purchase motivation. Notably, both those who reported recent purchase motivations of racial violence and of political violence expressed significantly higher support for a "stand-your-ground" policy compared to those who did not report such motivations.

Conclusions: Racial and political violence appear to be larger concerns among new gun owners, motivating purchasing among demographic groups with traditionally lower gun ownership rates. These findings suggest a need for safety assurances amid racial and political tensions and growing gun ownership. Gun owners' support for such policies remains strong.
