Cold War My first inclination would be to answer
the first question with a clear YES. But come to

changed at all, or at least very little. Rather
than changes, there has been a shift in the
causes. The cause of war which has dominated the
last 50 years was the cause of ideology. However,

government is constantly proposing legislation for
more and more gun control. Slowly they are

reason does the government want to restrict law

Gun control is government limitations of the
purchase and ownership of firearms in order to
reduce violence caused by the use of the firearms.
