The National Firearms Act of 1934 was passed in response to gangland violence during prohibition.

The Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed in response to political assassinations of the 60s.

The Brady Bill was passed in response to the Reagan assassination attempt and gun violence of the crack epidemic..

The article should be titled "When gun violence reaches the tipping point, stronger regulations are enacted"
