A number of experts across the country say that gun violence should be seen as a public health issue and merit a science-based, pragmatic approach instead of simply making the existing gun laws strict.
The view has been backed by a number of other analysts, including Paul Barrett who authored a book detailing the history of Glock handgun. "There's a relationship between the presence of guns and the lethality of crime, but there is not a cause-and-effect, simple formula that will solve crime problems by simply regulating, in slightly different ways, how easily you can acquire a gun", he said.
