300,000 Lives Could Be Saved in 10 Years if US Enacted Stronger Gun Control Laws
300,000 Lives Could Be Saved in 10 Years , if US Enacted Stronger Gun Control Laws, Study Says.
According to a study revealed on
Jan.
5 by Everytown for Gun Safety, .
Hundreds of thousands of people could avoid untimely deaths at the hand of gun violence if America follows the example of states like California and New York, CNN reports.
.
The study revealed rankings for each state based on their gun laws vs.
Gun death rates for all of 2023.
.
California and New York ranked best
for gun safety, while Arkansas, Mississippi
and Idaho were the lowest-ranked states.
.
Everytown found that five foundational
laws seem to be the most effective
for reducing gun violence rates.
Those laws include requiring background checks and/or permits to buy guns, concealed carry permits, secure storage of guns, .
Rejecting "Stand Your Ground" laws, and enacting "extreme risk" laws, which temporarily prohibit a person from accessing firearms when they are an apparent danger to themselves or others.
.
Legislators have a roadmap to
keep their communities safe from
gun violence, but it’s up to them to
put these critical policies in place, Nick Suplina, senior vice president for Law and Policy
at Everytown for Gun Safety, via statement.
While states at the top of Everytown’s
list are taking significant action
to prevent gun violence, gun
lobby-backed legislators continue
to play politics with our lives and
the consequences are deadly, Nick Suplina, senior vice president for Law and Policy
at Everytown for Gun Safety, via statement.
Those deadly consequences are made
apparent by the country's first mass school
shooting of 2024, only four days into the new year.

Report Exposes Impact , of Persistent Flooding , Along Mississippi River.
'The Independent' reports that persistent
flooding along the Mississippi River has
pushed people out of their homes at a 30%
higher rate than the United States as a whole.
The Associated Press released data from
First Street, a risk analysis firm, showing the
impact of flooding on hard-hit communities. .
Dean Klinkenberg, who writes guidebooks and
histories of local Mississippi communities, warns
flooding has slowly chipped away at river culture. .
In 1970, West Alton, Missouri, had
a population of nearly 4,000 people. .
Following major floods in 1973,
1993 and 2019, the town now has
less than 400 people living there.
All three of the town's churches are now gone.
The remaining homes have had to be elevated
to try and protect them from future floods.
According to the data, people tend to
move to a safer place nearby, however, others
choose to leave communities all together. .
The data showed that older residents are more
likely to remain, while in some communities, even
this figure was constrained by high flood risk.
Some riverside towns have benefited
from the Clean Water Act of 1972,
which improved rivers and streams.
Since then, parks were established on
cleaned-up industrial areas, bringing in
more tourists and attracting business.
