NewtownResearchers have found a link between a spike in handgun purchases that took place following the Sandy Hook shooting and the re-election of President Barack Obama, and injuries caused by firearms in California.

The team acknowledged the results now need to be replicated in other states to see if a similar pattern emerges.
