	Gun Control vs. Gun Rights: The Issue
		Gun control advocates believe that right does not extend to ownership of military-style firearms that are otherwise known as assault weapons.
		Gun control advocates, meanwhile, contribute far less money than their rivals -- a total of nearly $1.7 million since 1989, of which 94 percent went to Democrats.
		The leading contributor among gun control advocates is the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, formerly known as Handgun Control, which has given $1.5 million over the past 15 years.

	Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership or JPFO is a group dedicated to the preservation of gun rights in the United States.
		The JPFO is probably most noted for its claim that the Gun Control Act of 1968, passed under the leadership of then-Senator Thomas J. Dodd, was inspired by a Nazi-era German law called (roughly translated) the National Weapons Law.
		That claim is based in part by the fact that the 1968 GCA introduces the "sporting purpose" test to separate different types of weapons, similar to the "sporting purpose" test that existed in the German law in question.

		They argued that while the 1968 Gun Control Act banned gun sales to most criminals, it was still easy for criminals to lie to gun dealers about their identity or their past.
		Gun control advocates argued that many of the shootings could have been prevented if the students had not had such easy access to guns.
		Opponents of gun control also employed the classic logic of “guns don’t kill people; people kill people,” by arguing that in each of the school shootings, the killers were clearly disturbed and that the availability of guns wasn’t the deciding factor that caused them to go on their rampages.

	gun control (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In May 2005 the US Senate is considering a bill which prohibits victims of gun violence and their families from taking civil action against those who supply weapons, namely manufacturers, dealers and importers.
		Hand gun control is one of the most controversial and emotional issues in the public arena in the US, and an issue which is most open to misinformation and distortion.
		According to the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence, passing the bill would remove a significant protection which society has against the threat of gun violence, namely the right to hold weapons dealers accountable for supplying guns to people who are likely to commit violent crime.

	Coalition to Stop Gun Violence
		WASHINGTON - April 26 - A shooting today that left at least 18 dead at a school in Erfurt, Germany evoked memories of the Columbine massacre three years ago, and was a chilling demonstration of the carnage caused by the flood of illegal weapons.
		But the real issue here is the illegal gun market, fueled by the smuggling of weapons from countries with weak gun laws -- such as Eastern European and Balkan nations as reported in press accounts today -- into countries with tough laws like Germany.
		But those laws are undermined when guns are illegally trafficked into states with tough gun laws from states with weak gun laws.

	GUNS AND PUBLIC HEALTH: EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE OR PANDEMIC OF PROPAGANDA?
		Gun control legislation focuses on regulating access to firearms, but the availability of guns is only one of many factors contributing to crime.
		Gun licensing does not, as is implied, equate to the gun scarcity their shibboleth deems the indispensable prerequisite to low homicide rates.
		Second, since owning guns does not cause ordinary people to murder--and certainly doesn't cause them to rob, rape, or burgle--it is difficult to identify and justify the basis for confiscating their property and depriving them of the freedom to choose to own arms for the defense of self, home, and family.

		A national campaign by the gun industry has provided millions of free gun locks to everyone from young mothers to hunters in an effort to keep firearms from falling into the hands of children.
		With an estimated 240 million guns in the USA, advocates on both sides of the gun control debate believe locks can save lives, although research on the issue is scant.
		The federal legislation that would protect the firearm industry from lawsuits when guns are used to commit a crime includes an amendment that would require locks, or another safety device, to be sold with every handgun.

		Private gun sales—at gun shows, swap meets, and through classified ads—account for 40% of all gun sales annually in the U.S. Federal law allows fast, “no questions asked” transactions in all of these cases, meaning that anyone can get a gun—regardless of a criminal or mental record.

		The message that more guns will solve our problems has been promoted relentlessly by the NRA and other elements of a fringe culture that believes not only in the right to bear arms as the most important bulwark against violent crime and government oppression, but that every citizen should prepare for armed confrontation.
		To those who argue that if we outlawed guns that would cost more, realise that to a criminal "cost" is translated to "rob a few more people at gunpoint", something that is a lot easier when you know your victims will be unarmed.
