From FiveThirtyEight October 26, 2017 Jeff Asher and Mai Nguyen Harris Public Policy Professor Jens Ludwig Harris Public Policy Professor Jens Ludwig was featured in FiveThirtyEight discussing how state gun control laws are rendered less effective at curbing gun violence because crime weapons are trafficked from neighboring states with more relaxed gun laws. "Cities that try to control gun violence by supplementing federal regulations with additional local gun laws, those laws are regularly undermined by crime guns coming in from other states.” Full coverage available at FiveThirtyEight.
