RAND found safe storage / child-access prevention (CAP) laws reduce violent crime, suicide, unintentional injuries and deaths:

The NRA is against CAP laws:

RAND found that stand-your-ground laws increase violent crime:

The NRA is for such laws:

Background checks and domestic violence prohibitions are also effective:
