How a Harris or Trump Presidency Could Affect Gun Policy
SHARE

The United States has a gun problem. With more guns than people in the country, the toll of firearm-related deaths is staggering. In 2022 alone, guns killed over 48,000 people in the U.S., equivalent to one person every 11 minutes. The majority of these deaths were suicides, making guns the leading cause of death for children aged one to 17. While mass shootings have garnered significant media attention, they represent only a small fraction of firearm fatalities.

Despite the alarming statistics, about a third of Americans own a gun, while six in 10 express support for stricter gun laws. The intersection of rage, despair, carelessness, and greed contributes to the high number of gun deaths in the U.S. According to Daniel Webster, a gun violence researcher at Johns Hopkins University, the prevalence of firearms in interpersonal conflicts significantly increases the likelihood of lethal outcomes.

The current state of gun violence in the U.S. is a result of policy decisions that can be changed with the right political will. Research indicates that the presence of more guns does not make people safer. Vice President Kamala Harris, known for her advocacy for stricter gun regulations, has a history of working on gun policy initiatives. She has pushed for universal background checks, stronger enforcement of existing regulations, and measures to keep guns away from domestic violence offenders.

During the Biden-Harris administration, significant gun legislation was passed, addressing background checks, gun seller regulations, and measures to prevent domestic violence offenders from accessing firearms. Independent licensing processes for gun ownership and regulations targeting domestic violence offenders have proven to be effective in reducing gun deaths.

On the other hand, former President Donald Trump has positioned himself as a proponent of gun rights and has taken steps to loosen restrictions around gun ownership during his presidency. He has overturned certain gun regulations and appointed federal judges with gun-friendly records. Trump’s approach to gun policy focuses on defending the Second Amendment and supporting gun owners.

The upcoming presidential election will have significant implications for gun policy in the U.S. Harris is expected to continue advocating for stricter regulations, while Trump’s administration would likely maintain a hands-off approach to gun control. The choice between these two candidates will have far-reaching consequences for addressing gun violence in the country.

In conclusion, the issue of gun violence in the U.S. requires a multifaceted approach that goes beyond just gun regulations. Addressing the root causes of gun violence, such as socioeconomic factors, mental health care, and community violence intervention programs, is essential to reducing fatalities. The upcoming election will be crucial in determining the direction of gun policy in the U.S. and its impact on public safety.
