Recommendation

Many opponents to gun reform opponents insist that lawmakers can do nothing to curb gun violence. Washington Post contributor Robert Gebelhoff begs to differ. Citing a number of compelling studies and statistics from the United States and other developed countries, he demonstrates that several easy-to-implement gun control measures could save a significant number of lives every year – without taking away the right of law-abiding US citizens to bear arms. getAbstract believes people with various views on guns in America might agree on these measures. 

Take-Aways

  • Studies from the United States and other developed countries indicate that targeted gun control measures do limit gun violence.
  • Banning military-grade weapons can reduce deaths from mass shootings. 
  • Raising the age limit for gun purchases and mandating that gun owners store firearms securely may result in fewer violent crimes committed by young people.
