目标.比较2017年枪支拥有者和非枪支拥有者对24种不同枪支政策的公众支持。我们在2017年1月进行了一项全国民意调查，使用在线小组来衡量美国成年人对24项枪支政策的支持。我们比较了枪支拥有者和非枪支拥有者之间的支持。在所审查的24项政策中，有23项政策的大多数受访者支持限制或管制枪支所有权。在24项政策中，只有8项政策的枪支拥有者和非枪支拥有者之间的支持率差距大于10个百分点。公众支持度高、枪支所有权状况支持差距最小的政策包括普遍背景调查、更大的问责制、对无法说明库存情况的持牌枪支经销商的更高问责、对隐蔽携带许可证持有者的更高安全培训标准、改善与精神疾病有关的记录报告、对背景调查、对受到临时家庭暴力限制令的人的枪支禁令，和枪支暴力限制令，公共卫生影响尽管美国人在枪支问题上存在重要分歧，但绝大多数枪支拥有者和非枪支拥有者都强烈支持加强美国枪支法律的措施。
Objectives. To compare public support for 24 different gun policies between gun owners and non-gun owners in 2017.Methods. We Fielded a national public opinion survey in January 2017 using an online panel to measure US adults' support For 24 gun policies. We compared support among gun owners and non-gun owners.Results. For 23 of the 24 policies examined, most respondents supported restricting or regulating gun ownership. Only 8 of 24 policies had greater than a 10-point support gap between gun owners and non-gun owners.Conclusions. Policies with high public support and minimal support gaps by gun ownership status included universal background checks, greater accountability For licensed gun dealers unable to account For their inventory, higher safety training standards For concealed carry permit holders, improved reporting of records related to mental illness For background checks, gun prohibitions for persons subject to temporary domestic violence restraining orders, and gun violence restraining orders.Public Health Implications. Although there are important areas where Americans disagree on guns, large majorities of both gun owners and non-gun owners strongly support measures to strengthen US gun laws.
