Description
As the debate on gun control continues to take center stage, evidence-based research is at the forefront to answer the question, How do we reduce gun violence? Arguably the biggest gun policy reform under consideration today is the regulation of firearm sales and stopping the diversion of guns to criminals. This selection from Reducing Gun Violence in America presents compelling evidence that stronger purchasing laws and better enforcement of these laws result in lower gun violence.
