What It Does
A strong set of gun safety policies includes many types of intervention, from regulatory oversight and funding of community programs to permit issuance and threat assessment programs. Robust implementation is not a given, but rather can require a clear mandate, infrastructure-building, and personnel who believe in their work. Several innovative states have created a single hub to focus on firearm policy. As these agencies grow in scope, they can handle issues as varied as community violence intervention funding, consumer product safety standards, oversight of gun dealers, and police accountability.
