Profiles of Licensed Firearm Owners in Israel after October 7: Replication Data, Analysis Code, and Questionnaires

Replication package for the article “Profiles of Licensed Firearm Owners in Israel after October 7: A Latent Profile Analysis across Two Samples”, submitted to Preventive Medicine Reports (manuscript PMEDR-26-2200). The package contains the deidentified analysis dataset of 630 licensed firearm owners in Israel surveyed online in April 2024 (N = 346) and March to April 2025 (N = 284); the R code that reproduces every result in the article and its supplementary materials (latent profile enumeration with tidySEM and OpenMx, cross-sample profile correspondence and equivalence tests, posterior-weighted analyses of distal outcomes and antecedents, a Bolck-Croon-Hagenaars robustness analysis, a sensitivity analysis restricted to Jewish respondents, bootstrap likelihood-ratio and Vuong tests, the five-profile solutions and stability re-estimations); the console logs and output files of the authors’ runs; the two Hebrew questionnaires as administered; and Figure 1. The dataset is an SPSS file with 270 variables; timestamps, IP addresses, location coordinates, response and panel identifiers and free-text fields were removed before deposit, and the deposited file reproduces all published results. README.md describes every file, the software versions used (R 4.5.3, tidySEM 0.2.10, OpenMx 2.22.10, brglm2 1.1.0) and how to run the replication. The study was supported by the Israeli Ministry of National Security.
