Taking together, our findings contradict the general notion – commonly based on international or US studies (Anglemyer et al., Citation2014; Hemenway & Miller, Citation2000; Hepburn & Hemenway, Citation2004) – that a higher rate of firearm availability is correlated with higher firearm homicide rate. Our findings do not support a correlation between firearm availability and firearm homicide prevalence. Specifically, of the five countries included in this study, the two countries with the highest estimated civilian firearm availability – Finland and Switzerland – report the lowest firearm homicide rate. On the contrary, and relative to their low legal firearm availability, Denmark and the Netherlands report high firearm homicide rates. Sweden has both a high firearm availability, as well as a high firearm homicide rate. These findings support previous studies and question the applicability of the availability hypothesis to the European context (Duquet & Van Alstein, Citation2015; Krüsselmann et al., Citation2021).
