Answer to Question 1

One method is to force gun manufacturer to alter gun designs to promote safety. Some examples include indicators whether the weapon is loaded, trigger locks, and personalized gun technology. A second method is to regulate gun transaction via the Gun Control Act of 1968, which prohibits certain individuals from purchasing firearms. Other ways to regulate gun transactions include requiring background checks and imposing a waiting, or cooling off period and imposing fines on gun retailers who do not request identification or fill out the proper paperwork. Other methods include denial of gun ownership to dangerous persons, implementing buyback programs, and arguments against right-to-carry laws.

FALSE
