520 . ‡aThe United States has more mass shootings, gun suicides, and nonfatal gun injuries than any other industrialized country in the world. Volsky believes that in order to significantly and permanently reduce gun deaths the United States, we need a bold new approach: a drastic reduction of the 390 million guns already in circulation and a new movement dedicated to a future with fewer guns. He suggests bold reforms that have succeeded in reducing gun violence worldwide, and offers a road map for achieving transformative change to increase safety in our communities.
