- Abstract:
The author discusses a study by Fridel and colleagues, published in the issue, which reported the results of their research on the efficacy of minimum age firearm purchase laws. Topics include explanations given by Fridel and colleagues that state laws that prohibit handgun sales to purchasers aged younger than 21 years have only a negligible impact on the suicide rate of young adults and their conclusion on the state permit-to-purchase laws.
