"Implementing stricter gun control laws to reduce gun violence"
It's arguable that the current gun control laws in the US are stretching the constitution to the breaking point. Anything much stricter and it would be impossible to maintain the fiction that they're compatible with the 2nd amendment.
No. Stricter laws for owing a gun does nothing to stop crime or to keep criminals from buying guns since by definition, criminals don't buy guns legally. Maybe the debate should be extended to crazed psychopaths with guns? Obviously the laws need changing.
Pretty much. Stricter gun control and vehicle laws, though.
Many lives were lost, gun laws became stricter.
to a certain extent "yes" and yet again at points "no"
Best answer is "MAYBE." There are many "gun free zones" in which law-abiding citizens won't carry a firearm, but a criminal would. In fact, criminals can take advantage of "gun free zones" because they know that their potential victims are likely to be unarmed. Now, if the government can ensure that guns are kept out of the hands of criminals, then stricter gun laws SHOULD help prevent gun-related fatalities. That's the tough part, criminals, by definition, don't obey laws.
The most recent Quinnipiac University poll found that fifty-six percent of voters support the stricter gun laws passed in 2013. Fifty-four percent of unaffiliated voters and eighty-one percent of Democrats support stricter gun laws, while sixty-nine percent of Republicans oppose it.
They are far stricter. Most countries such as the United Kingdom and Germany ban the ownership of guns, unless they bought under a licence for sport purposes. There is rarely any idea of a 'right to bear arms'.
stricter sentencing on gun related incidents?
Some argue that gun control laws are ineffective because they primarily target law-abiding citizens, rather than criminals who obtain firearms through illegal means. Additionally, criminals can still find ways to access and use firearms even if stricter gun control measures are in place. Moreover, the effectiveness of gun control laws can vary depending on the specific policies implemented and the enforcement of those policies.
