	Gun politics in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gun control advocates argue that only members of a "well regulated militia" have the right to keep and bear arms, with debate ensuing over what, exactly 'the militia' is. Opponents of gun control argue that the phrase "the people" applies to all individuals rather than an organized collective.
		Gun control advocates answer that it is unrealistic to suppose that private citizens could oppose a government which controls the full power of the US Armed Forces, were it to become tyrannical.
		Gun control advocates dispute these ideas, arguing that the US's two neighbors, Mexico and Canada are unlikely to ever invade, and that conquering tyrants have often required firearms ownership among their civilian populations (and, needless to say, their militaries).

	Brady Gun Control Act a Misfire?
		"This act only controls guns sold through licensed firearms dealers, so it doesn't address what is likely the most important source of guns for criminals, and that is other criminals or illegal interstate trafficking.

Cook and colleague Jens Ludwig studied statistics related to homicides and suicides from the National Center for Health Statistics for the period 1985 to 1997.
		But the authors found that there was no difference in overall suicide and homicide rates between the states that already had gun control laws and those where the Brady Act was put into action.

	FIREARMS AND FEDERAL LAW: THE GUN CONTROL ACT OF 1968
		The Gun Control Act of 1968, like its 1938 ancestor, was thus something of a compromise candidate at the time of its passage-representing concessions on the part of those opposed to any further federal controls and those who desired extensive further federal involvement.
		A major aim of the Gun Control Act was to assist state and local gun control efforts by reducing the flow of guns from loose-control to tight-control jurisdictions.
		Prior to the Act, two northeastern states and a number of municipalities had attempted to restrict handgun possession to only those of their citizens who could demonstrate a special need to own one.[182] Such laws were intended to reduce handgun ownership to a tiny fraction of the national average of 40 handguns per 100 households.

	STRICT CONSTRUCTION OF FIREARMS OFFENSES: THE SUPREME COURT AND THE GUN CONTROL ACT OF 1968

		For thirty years, the Left has used the "safety" claim as the foundation for its strategy of "incremental encroachment" on the Second Amendment to achieve its ultimate goal of gun confiscation, and the Feinstein-Schumer legislation preventing law-abiding citizens from owning semi-automatic rifles (so-called and decidedly misnamed "assault weapons") for lawful purposes, is no exception.
