Here's a look at some solutions to gun violence proposed by both sides of the gun-control debate.
A Supreme Court decision from late June struck down a century-old provision in New York that required handgun owners to convince a licensing agent that they have a special need to carry a gun outside of their home.
The removal of this barrier is expected to lead to state laws requiring permits for certain types of guns to be struck down as well. Thirteen states set laws on how some firearms should be locked away. State rules also exist to punish people if their guns fall into the wrong hands, such as a child or a convicted felon.Trigger locks, gun storage requirements and training classes have all been suggested as means to encourage responsible gun ownership.
The father of a teenager killed at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, has been one of the most vocal champions for arming teachers. Some gun advocates also say that pupils should be allowed to carry arms at school. Older, mostly rural, gun owners still fondly recall bringing their guns to school in their youth to hunt at lunch.
