Controlling sales and the registration of guns and
owners is necessary because of the homicide rate
involving guns and the violence caused by
criminals using guns. Since the early days of the

Gun Control One of the biggest issues in the
United States today seems to be gun control. The
government is constantly proposing legislation for
more and more gun control. Slowly they are
chipping away at our constitutional right to keep
and bear arms. You must ask yourself: For what
reason does the government want to restrict law
abiding citizens from owning guns? Certainly
government is not so naive to think criminals will
adhere to gun control laws. There just may be an
underlying motive for ...

Deep in the jungles of South America in the murky
waters of the Amazon, lives the electric eel,
although it has no malice towards any other living
creature, it does have the ability to protect
itself. Few public policy debates have been as
dominated by emotion and misinformation as the one
on gun control. Perhaps this debate is so highly
charged because it involves such fundamental
issues. The calls for more gun restrictions or for
bans on some or all guns are calls for significant
change in our...

Issue: Should A National Gun Control Policy Be
Established? Americans participated in a great
debate through the 60 s, 70 s, 80 s, and now the
