Gun Politics In The USA
Gun
Politics in the United States, incorporating the political
aspects of gun politics, and firearms rights,
has long been among the most controversial and intractable
issues in American politics. At the heart of this debate
is the relationship between the rights of the citizen and
the government's duty to provide for the common defense versus
the government's authority to regulate firearms and its
duty to prevent crime and maintain order.
Disagreements range from the
practical — does
gun ownership cause or prevent crime? — to the constitutional — how
should the Second Amendment be interpreted? — to
the ethical — what should the balance be between
an individual's right of self-defense through gun ownership
and the People's interest in maintaining public safety?

Gun Control
Gun control laws restrict the purchase or
ownership of the mostly-defensive weapon of gun and often
involve the recall of guns by law-abiding citizens. Gun
control is unique among social programs in increasing the
emotional and physical dependency of all voters on government.
Proponents use the discredited - but superficially
appealing - claim that fewer lawfully-owned guns leads
to less crime.
