来自全国科摩罗研究复制的分析提供了第一个全国代表性的估计，即在有和没有某些精神障碍和人口统计学特征的成年人中，冲动愤怒行为和拥有或携带枪支的共同发生率。该研究发现，美国有大量的人自我报告冲动愤怒行为的模式，并且在家中拥有枪支（8.9%）或在家外携带枪支（1.5%）。这些数据记录了许多常见的精神障碍和愤怒行为与枪支接触的结合。由于只有一小部分具有这种危险组合的人曾经因精神健康问题而非自愿住院，因此大多数人不会受到现有的与精神健康有关的法律的枪支限制。将大部分普通民众排除在枪支拥有之外也不太可能可行。基于行为风险的枪支限制方法，例如扩大枪支禁止人员的定义，将暴力轻罪定罪和多次DUI定罪的人包括在内，可能是预防人口中枪支暴力的更有效的公共卫生政策。版权所有© 2015约翰威利父子有限公司.
Analyses from the National Comorbidity Study Replication provide the first nationally representative estimates of the co‐occurrence of impulsive angry behavior and possessing or carrying a gun among adults with and without certain mental disorders and demographic characteristics. The study found that a large number of individuals in the United States self‐report patterns of impulsive angry behavior and also possess firearms at home (8.9%) or carry guns outside the home (1.5%). These data document associations of numerous common mental disorders and combinations of angry behavior with gun access. Because only a small proportion of persons with this risky combination have ever been involuntarily hospitalized for a mental health problem, most will not be subject to existing mental health‐related legal restrictions on firearms resulting from a history of involuntary commitment. Excluding a large proportion of the general population from gun possession is also not likely to be feasible. Behavioral risk‐based approaches to firearms restriction, such as expanding the definition of gun‐prohibited persons to include those with violent misdemeanor convictions and multiple DUI convictions, could be a more effective public health policy to prevent gun violence in the population.
