The Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen represents the latest shattering of once-routine norms around gun safety laws in the U.S. In this case, a 6-3 majority concluded that the state of New York’s requirement for a license to carry a concealed handgun violated the constitutional right to bear arms that the jurists believe is guaranteed by the Second Amendment.
Despite these mounting deaths, partisan deadlock often stands in the way of passing gun legislation, and opponents of new laws often point to a lack of evidence that proposed policies would reduce the harm caused by gunfire. The most effective tool to overcome such assertions would be objective research—if we had more of it. Unfortunately, there is not enough rigorous evidence about the best ways to reduce gun violence.
Fortunately, universities and private philanthropies, like our organization, Arnold Ventures, have stepped up to try to fill the research gap. The nonpartisan National Collaborative on Gun Violence Research, which was launched in 2018 with support from Arnold Ventures and other funders, has awarded more than $21 million for more than 44 research projects on topics ranging from intimate partner violence to suicides to self-defense.
Most of the proposed funding—roughly $475 million—would be needed to answer the 100 critical gun research questions identified by a Joyce Foundation Expert Advisory Panel. The rest would support implementation of the NORC Expert Panel’s recommendations for improving U.S. firearms data infrastructure at a state and federal level .
As for the impact of the Bruen case RAND has found limited evidence—at least one high-quality study and no contradictory findings—that licensing and permitting requirements lead to a decrease in suicides, and limited evidence that concealed carry laws lead to an increase in violent crime. Data are hard to come by, and the evidence could be more extensive if we decide at the federal funding level that these questions are worth answering.
Stop gun violence Ban Americans Not guns
the only way to make guns safer is gun control like drivers and pilots licenses
Firearms are very safe. They just don't go off on their own.
'Objective research' - a term long since disappeared from the scientific community. Now, data is changed, deleted or just plain ignored if it doesn't fit the predetermined parameters of the 'research'. The scientific community is suffering a 'believability' problem.
The Dickey amendment stopped the CDC from advocating for gun control. If we learned anything from the COVID pandemic is unelected government officials were given way too much control over peoples lives. It will be the same for gun control.
I bet there is plenty of funding for certain predetermined results hehe
Other countries have done the research already. Easy solutions.
The firearms are the safest they hae ever been. Not one firearm has ever fired ITSELF to kill someone, and even more importantly, not one firearm has moved ITSELF to a crime scene. In both cases HUMANS were the factor involved!
Or just follow the rules of gun safety: Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire, Be sure of what is behind your target, always make sure the gun is unloaded until ready to fire, and never point a gun at something unless you are willing to destroy it
Actually, all it takes is an electric crucible and a mold for paperweights.
