Summary/Abstract: After the multiple murders that took place on May 3 and 4, 2023, the Government of Serbia adopted a series of measures aimed at better gun control and improving safety in schools and among young people. Measures related to firearms are more numerous and implemented to a greater extent than others. However, the levels of violence have not been reduced because these measures do not affect their causes. The public call for the surrender of weapons gave results in terms of a large number of weapons collected, but the question arises as to why the previous actions were not so successful. It is also questionable why there are currently no campaigns that would educate citizens on the topic of the dangers of weapons and how to dispose of them.
