The study's discussion and recommendations were drawn up and structured in accordance with the study's proposals. The discussion will then seek to determine the extent to which each of the propositions has been confirmed or invalidated by the results of the study. The research propositions were: Proposition 1: Variations in local and state gun laws are influenced by variables such as: political orientation, cultural background, geographic location, population density, rates of gun violence, visibility of gun crimes, and outlook conservative or liberal Proposition 2: Basic federal gun law legislation is preserved regardless of changes adopted by state and local governments. In discussing the first proposition, the study will use prevailing public opinion and support for existing gun laws, particularly regarding licensing and registration requirements and concealed or open carry regulations. Public opinion is distinguished from public view, where the former represents the opinions of the population regarding existing gun control laws, while the latter describes the open carrying of weapons in public. The study identified a possible link between state culture, such as a strong gun culture and the popularity of sport hunting and gun sportsmanship in the state, with geographic location, such as being a Southern state. Population density also appears to be a significant factor as larger states with a lower population distribution, such as Utah, Montana, Arkansas, Arizona, and Georgia were more likely to be gun liberal, have a strong gun culture, and support less restrictions on gun possession and open or concealed carry. The political culture of such states also reflected and affirmed the prevalence… of middle of paper… rearming such as long guns versus handguns, as well as proximity to other states that have weaker or stronger gun control. laws. A future study is recommended to investigate the relationship between gun laws and gun violence, with the goal of making gun laws more cohesive to reduce the transfer of illegal firearms from states with lax laws to their immediate neighbors with strict laws on gun control. However, one should also consider that while gun laws and gun violence have a mutual effect that may be difficult to deconstruct, tightening gun laws can significantly reduce gun violence, while high gun violence will make it more gun control laws are likely to be further strengthened. strict. It would therefore be interesting to conduct a study investigating how gun control laws change in the context of an increase or decrease in gun-related violence..
