While it is also true that gun laws differ in all 50 states in America, President Obama’s gun control policy strengthens existing laws, and not only helps to shape the future of gun safety technology but also prohibit the mentally insane from possessing a firearm.

Are smart guns the answer to prevent future mass shootings and other acts of gun violence? First we need legislation to come to the point where curtailing gun-violence is a reality.

The US. needs to put an end to these mass murders by making politicians responsible for standing up to the NRA and gun industry. Sure supporters of the NRA are going to put up a fight, but the safety of the country’s citizens is a stake.
