300,000 Lives Could Be Saved in 10 Years if US Enacted Stronger Gun Control Laws
300,000 Lives Could Be Saved in 10 Years , if US Enacted Stronger Gun Control Laws, Study Says.
According to a study revealed on
Jan. 5 by Everytown for Gun Safety, .
hundreds of thousands of people could avoid untimely deaths at the hand of gun violence if America follows the example of states like California and New York, CNN reports. .

California and New York ranked best
for gun safety, while Arkansas, Mississippi
and Idaho were the lowest-ranked states. .
Everytown found that five foundational
laws seem to be the most effective
for reducing gun violence rates.
Those laws include requiring background checks and/or permits to buy guns, concealed carry permits, secure storage of guns, .
rejecting "Stand Your Ground" laws, and enacting "extreme risk" laws, which temporarily prohibit a person from accessing firearms when they are an apparent danger to themselves or others. .
Legislators have a roadmap to
keep their communities safe from
gun violence, but itโs up to them to
put these critical policies in place, Nick Suplina, senior vice president for Law and Policy
at Everytown for Gun Safety, via statement.
While states at the top of Everytownโs
list are taking significant action
to prevent gun violence, gun
lobby-backed legislators continue
to play politics with our lives and
the consequences are deadly, Nick Suplina, senior vice president for Law and Policy
at Everytown for Gun Safety, via statement.
Those deadly consequences are made
apparent by the country's first mass school
shooting of 2024, only four days into the new year.
