President Joe Biden addressed the country in a televised primetime speech Thursday to advocate for policy solutions.
He called for raising the minimum age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21 , strengthening background checks, and passing "red flag" laws.
Biden is also calling for a ban of assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines.
Gun buyback programs have been implemented in cities across the country.
A mandatory gun buyback program in Australia in the 1990s was followed by a substantial decline in homicides and suicides.
The uniquely lenient gun laws in the U.S. also could counteract efforts to reduce the prevalence of firearms on American streets.
Community activists have used boots-on-the-ground efforts to raise awareness and prevent gun violence.
Gun violence financially impacts the broader community, which picks up the tab for medical bills, mental health care, and other consequences.
Ronald Adrine , a board member with anti-violence organization Futures Without Violence, said he "pretty much gave up hope" that any gun control laws would ever happen in this country.
Adrine said he hopes the Supreme Court will continue to move in the direction of accountability.
