One Gun A Month Laws: Do They Reduce Murder Rates?
Clayton E. Cramer
Abstract: A number of states have passed laws to limit gun
sales to one gun a month in an attempt to reduce unlawful gun trafficking. Some states have subsequently repealed such
laws. Do these laws reduce murder rates? This paper examines evidence that changes in
murder rates associated with these laws are more plausibly explained by reductions
in other measurable symptoms of social disorder.
