Gun Control

Paper Summary:

This paper argues gun control is a law that should exist to some extent, but that should not violate the right, as set out by the U.S. Constitution, to bear arms. It explains that there is no evidence proving that gun ownership increases the likelihood of any crime or accident if the gun is stored and used properly.

From the Paper:

"There exists a long-running debate concerning the question of whether owning a gun increases the likelihood of becoming a victim of crime, committing a crime that one would not otherwise have committed, or that household ownership of a gun increases the likelihood of death due to accident or suicide. Different studies have returned different findings and conclusions and it leaves one wondering exactly what the truth is and exactly what one should believe when contemplating possible gun purchase and household ownership of a gun."
