    The first step we can take is taking measures to reduce the lethality of firearms sold in the United States. One such step is being taken by Ron Conway, a Silicon Valley investor who has funded more than fifteen smart gun projects in hopes to reduce the level of gun violence. A smart gun is a weapon that can only be fired when it recognizes the owners’ fingerprints, handgrip, or the presence of a special ring or bracelet worn by the shooter. Such technology could prevent guns from being stolen from homes by criminals with malicious intent or by curious children who could accidentally damage themselves or others.

    As this year’s disturbing presidential race unfolds, one of the issues that has been brought up—the cause of multiple deaths of civilians and police officers—is that of gun possession. The Democratic, pseudo-progressive view is pro-gun control, while the Trumpian view supports deregulation and is aligned with the views of the NRA. Both sides invoke academic studies to support in their respective attempts to support and promote their views. There are several, contradicting, studies on the issue. According to The Washington Post, “The United States has the highest gun ownership rate in the world and the highest per capita rate of firearm-related murders of all developed countries.”…

Fifty seven of those incidents were mass shootings, five hundred and forty were home invasions, and three hundred and ninety two were defensive use (Gun Violence Archive).

    Guns are used all around the world, but here in the United States, we need to keep our gun usage limited with gun laws. Gun laws are put into action to make sure firearms are used responsibly; however, people will always find a way to break these laws no matter how many are made.

There were 460,000 gun deaths in the U.S. between 1999-2013 and this was the 12th leading cause of death.…
