Answer:

​Stricter gun control laws.

Explanation:

President Ronald Wilson Reagan, born on the 6th of February, 1911 and died on the 5th of June, 2004. He was the 40th president of the United States of America; served between 1981-1989.

John Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate President Reagan on the 30th of March, 1981 in Washington DC but fortunately the president escaped sustaining only a gunshot wound.

One outcome of the attempted assassination of President Reagan in 1981 is ​the introduction of stricter gun control laws. On the 30th of November, 1993 the US Congress enacted Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (named after the assassination victim James Brady), which is focused on having a national instant criminal background check with a five-day waiting period for firearms purchases.
