The study, Gun Control in the United States: A Comparative Survey of State Firearm Laws, was conducted jointly by the Open Society Institutes Center on Crime, Communities and Culture and the Funders Collaborative for Gun Violence Prevention.
... But the study stresses that the foundation of effective gun control is registration and licensing, two elements crucial in preventing guns moving from legal to illegal ownership.
The Center on Crime, Communities and Culture, a project of the Open Society Institute, funds projects to achieve public safety solutions through sentencing reform and by reducing both gun violence and excessive incarceration. The Open Society Institute is a nonprofit grantmaking foundation created by George Soros. The Funders Collaborative for Gun Violence Prevention consists of OSI, the Irene Diamond Fund and other funders working together to reduce and prevent the harm caused by excessive availibility of guns.
