California's gun confiscation program under the microscope

NCT ID NCT02318732

First seen Feb 18, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study looks at whether California's program that takes guns away from people who are no longer allowed to own them (like those convicted of a crime) actually lowers their risk of future violence. Researchers will follow 20,000 adults who had firearms but later became prohibited, tracking arrests and mental health hospitalizations. The goal is to see if the program makes a real difference in preventing violent acts.
