目的：为了确定持牌枪支零售商的不成比例的销售手枪，后来受到所有权追查，一般在criminal.Design：病例对照，研究期间为1998-2003年。所有符合条件的枪支零售商的情况下，手枪后来被追查的速度显着（p= 50手枪每年在研究期间。优势比被用来衡量相对risk.Results：在多变量分析中，案件有较大的销售量，出售廉价的手枪更频繁，有较高的销售比例被拒绝，因为潜在的购买者被禁止拥有枪支，更有可能是在一个城市地区，在或附近的一个城市的政策，追查所有回收的犯罪枪支。几个风险因素的影响，包括作为一个典当行和销售给执法人员的地位，似乎是介导的购买者的特点，拒绝销售是一个代理measure.Conclusions：一些因素，其中大部分的零售商或他们的手枪购买者的特点，其中大部分是在现有的数据与不成比例的销售手枪，后来被用于犯罪。
Objective: To determine risk factors among licensed firearm retailers for disproportionate sales of handguns that are later subjected to ownership tracing, generally after use in crime.Design: Case-control; the study period was 1998-2003. Cases were all eligible firearm retailers whose handguns were later traced at a rate that significantly (p= 50 handguns annually during the study period.Main outcome measure: Status as a case. Odds ratios were used to measure relative risk.Results: In multivariate analyses, cases had larger sales volumes, sold inexpensive handguns more often, had a higher percentage of sales denied because the prospective purchasers were prohibited from owning firearms, and were more likely to be in an urban area, in or near a city with a policy of tracing all recovered crime guns. The effects of several risk factors, including status as a pawnbroker and sales to law enforcement personnel, appeared to be mediated by purchaser characteristics for which denied sales are a proxy measure.Conclusions: A number of factors-most of them characteristics of the retailers or of their handgun purchasers, and most of them available in existing data were linked to disproportionate sales of handguns that are later used in crime.
