The nation is grieving after yet another fatal mass shooting. Aren’t there ways to curb this ongoing national tragedy?
The mass shooting in a Connecticut elementary school has once again turned the public spotlight on the epidemic of gun violence in America.

Massacres like the one in Connecticut and daily shootings around the country compel many to ask, “Can’t we do something about gun violence in America?” The answer, of course, is yes—beginning with changing the weak federal laws that allow almost anyone access to a wide variety of deadly weapons.
