Gun control policies in the United States are weaker than in other countries. In addition, the government does not undertake safety tests to validate the control policies. While different countries try to implement stringent laws at the local and county levels, gun owners often violate these laws by crossing state borders given that each state operates under different policies (Aronow & Miller, 2016).
