Paper Summary:

This essay explores the development of gun control policies. It discusses various aspects of gun control including policy making steps, policy models in the United States, and policy models in the United Kingdom. It also offers a gun control policy suggestion and evaluation of the policy, as well as suggestions for implementation. It finds that the United States needs a uniform gun control policy that includes background checks that would disqualify anyone with a criminal record and require all individuals to attend a gun safety class. Further, it holds that hot button items like gun control policy should go beyond symbolism and should be based on more substantive information.

From the Paper:

"The Iron Triangle model is also identified as a policy whirlpool. It is described as three key players in the policy process who wield the most weight. These three key players are most often identified as executive bureaus, congressional committees, and interest groups. Executive bureaus are believed to deal with the issues the most on a constant basis. Congressional committees actually control the bills while interest groups have influence, time, money and resources."
