It is well known that the United States is a country full of guns. In 2021 there were 44,878 deaths by gun violence across the country, per the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that collects data on gun violence. This includes suicides, mass shootings, and other offenses. Of these shootings, only 1,249 were characterized as defensive use as reported by the Gun Violence Archive.
Mass shootings have occurred a number of times over the past several years, and each time there are many citizens calling for changes to gun laws, requirements for insurance, and other measures to reduce the number of shootings. The San Jose City Council has taken concrete steps in that direction by voting to require gun owners to have insurance coverage for their weapons.
