Gun Control and Crime

Paper Summary:

This is a position paper arguing that the key to solving society's problems with guns is to address the core issues rather than simply the symptoms. The paper suggests that the solution likely lies within education about guns and about the value of all life.

From the Paper:

"Gun control has been a hot topic for years in political and human rights debates, and although it may seem to be on the back burner today due to concerns over terrorists and other threatening worldly forces, it is not any less relevant now than ever before. People who are opponents to the gun control efforts feel that they are often intrusive into the private lives of citizens and unconstitutional. Proponents of gun control laws believe that it is an important part of stopping violent crime and improving the moral fiber of our society. Both sides of the issue have legitimate concerns, however it is questionable whether either group is currently proposing any solutions that will truly solve the problems that have spawned this debate."
