Estimating the effects of a California gun control program with Multitask Gaussian Processes [PDF]
Gun violence is a critical public safety concern in the United States. In 2006 California implemented a unique firearm monitoring program, the Armed and Prohibited Persons System (APPS), to address gun violence in the state. The APPS program first identifies those firearm owners who become prohibited from owning one due to federal or state law, then ...

Evaluating the precision and velocity of factory vs. handloaded lead‐free ammunition
We compared the precision and velocities of factory and handloaded lead‐free rifle ammunition across 19 combinations, including bullets not found in factory options. Handloaded bullets rarely demonstrated better precision than factory ammunition, although some options not available in factory loads showed greater precision.

DeepFirearm: Learning Discriminative Feature Representation for Fine-grained Firearm Retrieval [PDF]
There are great demands for automatically regulating inappropriate appearance of shocking firearm images in social media or identifying firearm types in forensics. Image retrieval techniques have great potential to solve these problems. To facilitate research in this area, we introduce Firearm 14k, a large dataset consisting of over 14,000 images in ...
