Gun Control Leading Debates in Gun Control Policy

Gun Control Can gun-safety laws help prevent accidental shooting deaths and injuries? Do laws making it easier to carry concealed weapons reduce crime? Does the 2 nd Amendment limit the government’s power to regulate individuals’ possession of firearms?

Can gun-safety laws help prevent accidental shooting deaths and injuries? Since 1990, 15 states have passed laws requiring adults to either: –Store loaded guns in a place reasonably inaccessible to children –Use a device to lock the gun Adults can be held criminally liable if a child obtains an improperly stored, loaded gun
