摘要

我们利用各州在购买和交付枪支之间法定延迟的存在和长度上的不同时间——包括明确的等待期和许可要求造成的延迟——来研究购买延迟对凶杀和自杀的影响。我们发现，购买延迟的存在降低了与枪支有关的自杀率2%至5%，而非枪支自杀率没有统计学上的显著增加。购买延迟与凶杀率的统计显著变化无关。

Looking Down the Barrel of a Loaded Gun: The Effect of Mandatory Handgun Purchase Delays on Homicide and Suicide

We exploit within-state variation across time in both the existence and length of statutory delays – both explicit wait periods and delays created by licensing requirements – between the purchase and delivery of a firearm to examine the effect of purchase delays on homicides and suicides. We find that the existence of a purchase delay reduces firearm-related suicides by between 2% and 5% with no statistically significant increase in non-firearm suicides. Purchase delays are not associated with statistically significant changes in homicide rates.
