"Study Suggests Adopting California Gun Laws Could Save 300,000 Lives by 2033"
A study by Everytown for Gun Safety suggests that nearly 300,000 lives could be saved over the next decade if all U.S. states adopted gun control laws similar to those in California and New York. The study correlates strong gun laws with lower rates of gun deaths, ranking states based on the strength of their gun legislation and its effectiveness in preventing gun violence. States like Arkansas and Mississippi, with weak gun laws, have high rates of gun deaths, while states with stringent gun laws, such as California and New York, have some of the lowest. The study's findings are opposed by the NRA, which argues that gun control laws do not effectively prevent gun violence.
