As the US experiences a decline in violent crime rates following a pandemic-driven surge, gun violence remains a pressing concern for communities nationwide. With nearly 500 mass shootings in 2024, the need for stricter gun control measures has become increasingly evident. To address this issue, multiple states are set to implement new gun laws on January 1, 2025, aiming to reduce gun violence and promote public safety. These regulations are expected to have a significant impact on gun ownership and usage, with a focus on reducing the risk of mass shootings and promoting responsible gun ownership.
