Gun violence takes many forms—whether it's a mass shooting at a school, the assassination of a public figure, or the everyday reality of gang-related crime and armed robbery. Beyond the tragic loss of life, the presence of gun violence shapes where people choose to live, affects local economies, and weighs heavily on public well-being. A new study finds that Americans are willing to pay nearly $100 billion for policies that reduce gun violence by 20%, underscoring the widespread desire for stronger intervention.
