TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Differences in perceptions of gun-related safety by race and gun ownership in the United States JO - Journal of law, medicine and ethics A1 - Ward, Julie A. A1 - Uzzi, Mudia A1 - Hudson, Talib A1 - Webster, Daniel W. A1 - Crifasi, Cassandra K. SP - 14 EP - 31 VL - 51 IS - 1 N2 - Motivated by disparities in gun violence, sharp increases in gun ownership, and a changing gun policy landscape, we conducted a nationally representative survey of U.S. adults (n=2,778) in 2021 to compare safety-related views of white, Black, and Hispanic gun owners and non-owners. Black gun owners were most aware of homicide disparities and least expecting of personal safety improvements from gun ownership or more permissive gun carrying. Non-owner views differed. Health equity and policy opportunities are discussed.
