IMPLEMENTATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF CONNECTICUT'S RISK-BASED GUN REMOVAL LAW: DOES IT PREVENT SUICIDES?
2017
Overview
Developing practical, effective, and legally sustainable policies to separate firearms from people at risk of harm ing themselves or others presents a potentially important, but challenging, public health opportunity for gun violence prevention in the US. This article sketches the relevant policy landscape in order to demonstrate that point-of-purchase background checks are a necessary but insufficient component of a strategy to reduce gun violence in the US, and that risk-based preemptive gun removal schemes provide a complementary policy to bridge the gap. It then briefly recounts the history of enactment and gradual implementation of Connecticut's risk-based gun removal law, beginning with the high-profile homicide that drove public opinion to support the law.
