RAND did a decent review.[1]

They do show supportive evidence of some gun laws having a meaningful effect on violent crime, so I'm not sure what they're referring to. For instance, it appears that child access prevention laws, specifically, are associated with a significant reduction in firearm homicides.[2]

RAND does complain that there is insufficient or limited evidence in a lot of areas though, like effect on mass shootings.
