As the debate on gun control continues to take center stage, evidence-based research is at the forefront to answer the question, How do we reduce gun violence?

This selection from Reducing Gun Violence in America presents compelling evidence that stronger purchasing laws and better enforcement of these laws result in lower gun violence.

Additional material includes an introduction by Michael R. Bloomberg and Consensus Recommendations for Reforms to Federal Gun Policies from the Johns Hopkins University.
