California tests whether taking guns from prohibited owners reduces violence
NCT ID NCT02318732
Summary
This study examines whether California's Armed and Prohibited Persons System (APPS) reduces future violence. The system identifies people who legally bought guns but later became prohibited from owning them (due to criminal convictions, mental health issues, or restraining orders) and attempts to recover their firearms. Researchers are tracking 20,000 people across 1,000 communities to see if this intervention lowers arrest rates for violent crimes.
