The recommendations are intended to have statewide impact and may vary depending on factors such as community culture, demographics, rurality, and implementation differences. The guide is the seventh state-specific policy road map published by the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions, following guides for Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Maryland and Maine. The lead author of the guide, Ethan Bartlett, stated that the recommendations were intended to help policymakers, local governments and organizations identify legislative changes that could reduce firearm deaths and injuries. The first recommendation is for a requirement that prospective firearm buyers obtain a license before purchasing a gun, which is recommended by the guide. Another recommendation is to establish licensing requirements for firearm dealers, which could strengthen background checks and prevent firearms from reaching people legally prohibited from possessing them.
