Barnes J C, Boutwell Brian B, Beaver Kevin M

Abstract excerpt

Handgun ownership has been the focus of much criminological research due to the over involvement of handguns in violent crime. This literature has, however, overlooked the potential role genetic factors play in the decision to purchase a handgun.
