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.

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.
