WAYS TO HELP LOWER VIOLENCE INVOLVING GUNS
• A solution that was created by scientists and engineers is to find a way to manufacture “safe guns” that have electronic components embedded within them
• Some have suggested the use of ballistic fingerprinting
• Getting help for those that have mental problems that could lead to violence
• Keeping children educated about safety and making sure that children that are troubled receive the help they need

A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH• The creation of safe guns could make guns themselves safer
• Proposed safety measures: Requiring a voice command to disable the safety
• Using biometrics to allow the gun to only fire when being held by the owner its registered to
• Having a transponder that would allow it to be located if stolen
• Having a sensor that would be able to detect if its user has consumed alcohol

BALLISTIC FINGERPRINTING• A ballistic fingerprint is the set of marks that are left in a bullet upon being fired
• Every gun has a unique finger print just like humans

A PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH• While the majority of violent gun crimes don’t involve the mentally ill many do
• The most common illnesses that can lead someone to act out this way are schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, and depression
• Recognizing signs of the illnesses and
seeking help for these people is the
eassiest way to avoid violence.

THOSE UNDER THE AGE OF 18• Many violent shootings are carried out by those under the age of 18
• Easiest way to prevent this is to be a responsible gun owner and keep guns unloaded and safely stored
• Another solution is to simply look out for warning signs in children and seek help for them

CONCLUSIONS • Many Americans love to own guns and would fight to keep the 2nd amendment alive
• Many Americans also appose gun ownership however it could be quite costly for the government to simply take them all away
• Safety needs to be a priority however those who legally purchase firearms must take all necessary precautions
