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.
