Has gun control increased in the past few years?
<|assistant|>
Gun control has become a major issue in the United States in recent years, due in large part to several large scale mass shootings. State and federal governments have moved to introduce increasingly strict controls, such as background checks, waiting periods, and semi-automatic weapons bans. Many localities have passed even stricter gun regulations and some cities have implemented ‘red flag’ laws, which allow the courts to temporarily seize firearms from those deemed to be a risk to themselves or others.
