Table 1.

Simple logistic regression models predicting odds of agreement with safety-related statements, comparing gun owners to non-owners, stratified by race.

White Black Hispanic
OR 95% CI p-value OR 95% CI p-value OR 95% CI p-value
Latino/a people are more likely to die from gun homicide than white people. Gun Owner: Non-Owner 0.67 0.50 – 0.91 0.010 0.95 0.56 – 1.63 0.858 0.59 0.31 – 1.15 0.125
Black people are more likely to die from gun homicide than white people. Gun Owner: Non-Owner 0.80 0.60 – 1.08 0.146 1.70 0.91 – 3.18 0.094 0.84 0.41 – 1.69 0.617
Personally owning a gun will make me safer. Gun Owner: Non-Owner 7.76 5.71 – 10.5 <0.001 2.12 1.23 – 3.64 0.007 2.57 1.11 – 5.94 0.028
I would feel safer if more people were allowed to legally carry guns. Gun Owner: Non-Owner 4.59 3.31 – 6.36 <0.001 1.40 0.71 – 2.76 0.327 2.51 1.23 – 5.13 0.011
