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.
