Ineffectiveness of Gun Control

Paper Summary:

This paper posits that despite the arguments that gun control activists frequently cite as reasons to limit this constitutional right, American citizens must begin to inform themselves and realize that clear and convincing evidence concludes that gun control is not effective in reducing or deterring gun-related crimes. The paper follows the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" slogan and explains that in place of gun control laws, education against violence is more important.

From the Paper:

"The second amendment of the constitution of the United States is in trouble. Although it is often cited as an obvious answer to the constitutional-protection question, it is often referred to simply as the "right to bear arms." However, the full text reads, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed;" therefore, the general populace must increase its awareness that this is clearly an individual right and stop arguing for gun control laws."
