But it still remains far higher than in any other wealthy nation in the world, as does the rate of \u003ca href=\"https://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/tocta/6.Firearms.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> gun ownership.\u003c/a> And while mass shootings only make up a small percentage of total U.S. gun deaths, they occur with alarming frequency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue resurfaced in June, when a lone gunman wielding a semi-automatic rifle and a handgun singlehandedly killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando. The incident marked the deadliest mass shooting in American history, reigniting a fierce national debate over gun violence and gun control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the aftermath, Democratic leaders staged a day-long \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/22/483091059/demanding-action-on-gun-control-house-democrats-stage-sit-in\" target=\"_blank\"> sit-in\u003c/a> on the house floor, hoping to push legislation to broaden background checks and prevent people on the government’s “no-fly list” from purchasing firearms. Republican congressional leaders, however, denounced the action, and effectively \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/house-gop-indefinitely-delays-gun-control-votes-225234\" target=\"_blank\"> blocked a vote\u003c/a> on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the stalemate in congress, there’s strong public support for gun control measures. In a recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/20/politics/cnn-gun-poll/\" target=\"_blank\"> CNN poll\u003c/a> 92 percent of respondents said they supported expanded background checks, and 85 percent want the “no-fly” purchasing ban. Nevertheless, the political influence of gun rights groups, like the National Rifle Association, remains huge, effectively squashing most efforts to strengthen gun laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the December 2015 mass shooting in San Bernardino, President Obama went around Congress and announced a series of executive actions to marginally expand background checks and crack down on illegal online gun sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 796px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2016/08/gundata_updated.png\" width=\"796\" height=\"345\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sources: \u003ca href=\"http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2016/images/06/20/cnn_orc_poll_june_20.pdf\"> CNN/ORC poll (survey conducted June, 2016)\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/tocta/6.Firearms.pdf\"> UNODC & Small Arms Survey\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cspan style=\"color: blue;\">Hillary Clinton\u003c/span>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Clinton is pushing for what she calls “common sense” \u003ca href=\"https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/gun-violence-prevention/\" target=\"_blank\">reforms\u003c/a>.\u003cbr>\nHer plan includes a ban on assault weapons, stricter background checks for firearm purchases and a crackdown on illegal gun traffickers.

The incident marked the deadliest mass shooting in American history, reigniting a fierce national debate over gun violence and gun control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the aftermath, Democratic leaders staged a day-long \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/22/483091059/demanding-action-on-gun-control-house-democrats-stage-sit-in\" target=\"_blank\"> sit-in\u003c/a> on the house floor, hoping to push legislation to broaden background checks and prevent people on the government’s “no-fly list” from purchasing firearms.
