People who live with handgun owners in US are shot dead at a higher rate compared to gun-free households, new research suggests
Those who lived with handgun owners had a much higher rate of being fatally shot by a spouse or intimate partner, study shows.
The study has several shortcomings. For example, the researchers said they could not determine which victims were killed by the handgun owners or with in-home weapons. They couldn't account for illegal guns and looked only at handguns, not rifles or other firearms. "I would call this a landmark study," said Cassandra Crifasi, a gun violence policy researcher at Johns Hopkins University.
The study focused on nearly 600,000 Californians who did not own handguns but began living in homes with handguns between October 2004 and December 2016 — either because they started living with someone who owned one or because someone in their household bought one.Separately, the researchers found that those who lived with handgun owners had a much higher rate of being fatally shot by a spouse or intimate partner. The vast majority of such victims — 84-percent — were women, they said.
