A model of the underlying interplay of legal firearms supply and demand is a prerequisite for reliably evaluating the effectiveness of pertinent existing state and federal firearms policies, and to amend them as necessary. The stakes are high: compared to other nation-states, per capita firearms-related harm in the United States (including suicides and homicides) is exceptionally high and, within constitutional strictures, state and federal firearms policymakers increasingly view it as a major and pressing society-wide problem.39 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd, (c) McDougall et al., 2020http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Armes de focIndústria manufactureraEstats Units d'AmèricaFirearmsManufacturing industriesUnited Statesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
