WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- In the wake of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, calls for more gun control are mounting in Congress. Democrats are pushing for tighter gun restrictions, with Republicans against most anti-gun legislation. The issue is as complex as it is controversial, and experts have myriad viewpoints.


Sunday saw the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. The shooter, Stephen Paddock Black Dante Fowler Jr Jersey , attacked concert-goers at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas and later took his own life, killing at least 59 people and injuring more than 500 others.


Police found over a dozen additional firearms and explosives in his room, according to authorities and news reports.


In light of the horrific event, Democrats on Wednesday began pushing for more gun control laws, prompting the start of what's sure to be a heated partisan debate over a controversial issue that's gone on for more than a decade.


But experts differ on whether stricter gun laws, if implemented, would work or not.


Leah Libresco, a statistician and former news writer at FiveThirtyEight Black Yannick Ngakoue Jersey , a leading data journalism site, wrote earlier this week in the Washington Post that she used to believe more gun laws would reduce deaths. Her research, however, changed her mind.


She and a team of analysts combed through tens of thousands of gun death records for three months, and what they found startled and frustrated her.


"We looked at what interventions might have saved those people, and the case for the (gun control) policies I'd lobbied for crumbled when I examined the evidence," she wrote.
