<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Salam Fatohi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health\u2019s Center for Gun Violence Solutions released its 2025 National Survey of Gun Policy<\/strong><\/a>. Unsurprisingly, the results of the research project do not say what the researchers would have you believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Center for Gun Violence Solutions was created in 2022 when Johns Hopkins University announced<\/a><\/strong> a partnership with billionaire former New York City mayor and failed presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg, of course, is the financial backer behind the gun control groups Everytown for Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action and Mayors Against Illegal Guns. He also funds The Trace, which is a mouthpiece for gun control that has infiltrated newsrooms under the guise of \u201ccollaborations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire purpose of the partnership is to hijack health care research to restrict the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans under the cover of \u201cscience\u201d and study criminal gun misuse through a lens of \u201cpublic health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the program\u2019s co-director stated, \u201cWe will now have even more capacity to bring meaningful policy change through evidence-based advocacy.\u201d But pre-determining policy results and pushing research as advocacy<\/a><\/strong> doesn\u2019t make the Johns Hopkins gun control project a research institution. It makes it a special-interest group. Its newly released \u201csurvey\u201d on gun policies should be viewed through this prism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results Are In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Johns Hopkins report states it surveyed twice as many non-gun owners as gun owners and 500 more self-described Democrats than self-described Republicans. Readers should keep that in mind when considering the \u201cfindings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are those findings? \u201cThe survey consistently finds broad public support for firearm policies based on public health research and evidence,\u201d the summary states. The problem for gun control advocates is that some of their favored policies are flat-out unconstitutional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, the survey suggests 74 percent of Americans \u201csupport laws that require a person to lock up the guns in their home when not in use.\u201d There is just one big brick wall standing in the way of mandatory storage laws the Johns Hopkins center would love to institute \u2013 the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its 2008 landmark Heller decision, the U.S. Supreme court ruled that Washington, D.C.\u2019s mandatory firearm storage requirement for firearms while \u201cnot in use\u201d in the home violated the U.S. Constitution because the law prevents firearms from being used by law-abiding Americans for self-defense. NSSF encourages all gun owners to practice safe and responsible firearm storage that works for their individual situation but opposes unconstitutional mandatory storage laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permission to Purchase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another policy for which the Johns Hopkins researchers advocate is \u201cpermit-to-purchase\u201d laws that require would-be gun owners, who are already law-abiding Americans who pass an FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check (NICS) verification, to jump through even more hoops to exercise their Constitutional rights. As Johns Hopkins points out, lawful firearm purchasers would also have to submit an application to state or local police, get fingerprinted, undergo an additional redundant background check, complete a mandated and often seldom-offered course and meet other legislatively required training requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRequiring a license or permit to purchase a handgun reduces firearm homicides and suicides, as well as diversions of guns for crime use, and shootings of law enforcement officers. It is one of the most effective policies we have to reduce gun violence,\u201d Center co-director Cassandra Crifasi said in the survey results. The survey claims 72 percent of Americans support permit-to-purchase schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSSF disagrees. Permit-to-purchase laws are unconstitutional under the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s 2022 Bruen<\/em> decision and are similar to unconstitutional poll or sin taxes. Discretionary permit-to-purchase laws, like the one enacted by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis earlier this year, make exercising Second Amendment rights only permissible with a state-approved permission slip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Johns Hopkins center\u2019s co-director\u2019s claim that \u201cpermit-to-purchase\u201d laws \u201creduces firearm homicides\u201d is also flat wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSSF analyzed data from the FBI\u2019s crime dashboard<\/strong><\/a> to look at California, a state with strict gun control, including a \u201cpermit-to-purchase\u201d law. Between 2021-2024, homicides involving a firearm in the Golden State increased by 151.6 percent. Across the country, in New York \u2013 another \u201cpermit-to-purchase\u201d state \u2013 homicides involving a firearm there jumped more than 53 percent during the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Due Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another policy proposal the Johns Hopkins researchers asked survey respondents about was Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) laws, also known as \u201cred flag\u201d laws. The survey says falsely that a red flag law \u201cis a civil order with due process protections<\/em> [emphasis added] that temporarily restricts firearm access for an individual who is behaving dangerously or presents a high risk of harm to self or others.\u201d The center\u2019s survey suggests 77 percent of Americans support so-called \u201cred flag\u201d laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johns Hopkins Gun Violence Solutions Center core faculty member Shannon Frattaroli stated, \u201cERPOs and DVPOs are two powerful examples of how we\u2019re leveraging evidence to shape effective interventions and implementation strategies that improve the safety and well-being of families and communities across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, no ERPO law includes adequate Due Process rights for the person subject to the order. In fact, NSSF has never opposed a proposal that includes these critical protections, but no law so far has included them. A law-abiding American cannot be denied their property \u2013 their firearms \u2013 without the opportunity to quickly go in front of a judge and make their case against the confiscation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Constitutional concerns, the researchers\u2019 data are once again wrong. NSSF analyzed data over the last 10 years (2014-2025) and found that 60 percent of true criminal mass shooting events have taken place in states that have had a \u201cred flag\u201d law in place. More than half \u2013 18 of 30 \u2013 took place in states with ERPO laws and 15 of those 18 mass murderers committed their horrific crimes in a state with a \u201cred flag\u201d law in place had demonstrated prior signs of mental health issues. Nearly 50 percent (48.8) of mass murderers in the data set had a criminal history and\/or police intervention prior to the tragic event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a simple, cursory examination of the Johns Hopkins survey, the final product makes more sense. It is a gun control product performed by gun control advocates. The purpose of manipulating data was to arrive at pre-determined outcomes to push more gun control policies on law-abiding Americans. There are more holes in the research than a block of Swiss cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
