The purpose of this investigation is to examine public sentiment about the removal of firearms in the absence of a restraining order or misdemeanor conviction following domestic violence. An experimental vignette design was used in a telephone survey of a cross-sectional statewide sample of 522 community-residing adults in California. Study design and population weights were applied; the findings, thus, are a reasonable approximation for the population of California. In more than 3,500 vignettes, the abusive behavior was judged to be wrong, illegal, or should be illegal (98.7%, 73.1%, and 77.7%, respectively). Although only about one half (56.5%) of the scenarios were thought to merit the issuance of a restraining order, three fourths (77.4%) were thought to merit the removal of firearms. Multivariate analyses indicated greater support for firearms removal when the abuse involved sexual or physical abuse (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] ranged from 2.65 to 5.64) or a gun (AOR = 6.54). Men were the sole population group with significantly lower support for firearm removal following domestic violence (AOR = 0.39). The men who wanted firearms to remain did not differ from other men on any of the measured variables. In sum, there is substantial support, especially when a gun is displayed in a domestic violence incident, for policies requiring the removal of firearms from abusers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0193841x06287217","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,5]],"date-time":"2006-05-05T18:54:54Z","timestamp":1146855294000},"page":"361-373","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Taking Guns from Batterers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Susan B.","family":"Sorenson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, University of California, Los Angeles"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"CHIS 2001 methodology series: Report 4.
