2013年，马里兰州通过了限制私人销售手枪的《枪支安全法》，该法案不适用于经常用于狩猎的长枪（例如，步枪和猎枪）。这降低了手枪相对于长枪的可及性。我们评估了政策改变前后冬季（包括马里兰州的狩猎季节）长枪自杀的频率。我们对2003年至2019年马里兰州所有4107例由枪支引起的具有良好特征的成人自杀事件进行了回顾性分析。进行逻辑回归分析，按死者性别、种族和年龄分层。虽然手枪自杀在2013年《枪支安全法》颁布后有所减少（p < 0.008），但冬季长枪自杀在2013年后有所增加（p < 0.004）。高加索人种（p < 0.006）、男性（p < 0.005）和中年（p < 0.001）与2013年后冬季长枪自杀事件显著相关。我们的研究结果表明，虽然2013年的《枪支安全法》显着减少了手枪自杀事件，但它并没有减少长枪自杀事件，甚至可能在狩猎季节用长枪代替，当时步枪已经出来了。这种关联在最有可能狩猎的人口统计学中最为突出（高加索人，中年人和男性）。
In 2013, the state of Maryland passed the Firearms Safety Act limiting the private sales of handguns, which did not apply to long guns often used for hunting (e.g., rifles and shotguns). This decreased the accessibility of handguns relative to long guns. We assessed the frequency of long gun suicides in the years before and after the policy change during winter season, which encompasses hunting season in Maryland. We performed a retrospective analysis on all 4107 well-characterized adult suicides caused by firearms in Maryland from 2003 through 2019. Logistic regression was performed, stratifying by decedent sex, race, and age. While handgun suicides decreased in the period after 2013’s Firearm Safety Act (p < 0.008), wintertime long gun suicides increased after 2013 (p < 0.004). Caucasian race (p < 0.006), male sex (p < 0.005), and middle age (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with wintertime long gun suicides after 2013. Our findings suggest that while the 2013 Firearms Safety Act decreased handgun suicides significantly, it did not reduce long gun suicides and there may even have been replacement with long guns during hunting season, when rifles are out and accessible. This association was most prominent among the demographics most likely to hunt (Caucasian, middle-aged, and male).
