	Gun politics in the United States - Biocrawler
		Gun control advocates argue that high levels of gun ownership lead to higher levels of suicide and accidental deaths; gun ownership advocates dispute these statistics, for example pointing out that Japan, which allows virtually no private gun ownership, has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.
		Another position taken by gun rights advocates is that an armed citizenry is the population's last line of defense against tyranny by their own government, as many believe was one of the main intents of the Second Amendment.
		However, Minnesota's shall-issue law was invalidated by a state appeals court in 2005 on grounds that the law was passed in violation of a provision in the state constitution that prohibited multi-issue legislation.

	Gun politics
		In both the United States and around the world, debates about firearms policy center on the role of privately owned firearms in crime and crime prevention, as well as on the role of these firearms in the balance of power between governments and the people.
		Some who argue for "gun rights" do so from a type of private-property libertarian perspective, saying that the government has no right to interfere with individuals rights to own guns or any other inanimate object of private property as long as the individuals are not harming or intimidating their fellow citizens.
		Gun Politics in the UK In the United Kingdom, handguns are completely banned for private ownership (exceptions to the ban include pistols of antique and historical interest, starting pistols and shot pistols for pest control).

		Guns are more dangerous to the owners than to intended targets because most gun related deaths are a result of domestic violence, accidents, and suicides.
		Guns are of little use as self defense for the typical owner because in incidents where a hostile encounter with an armed criminal occurs, the criminal is often more experienced and skilled with his/her weapon; also, criminals may act in groups.
		Gun control laws have a disproportionate effect on the freedoms of the law-abiding as criminals are willing to break the law to acquire, possess, and use guns.

	Gun politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gun control laws have a disproportionate effect on the freedoms of the law-abiding as criminals are willing to break the law to acquire, possess, and use guns.
		Gun control advocates argue that the strongest evidence linking availability of guns to injury and mortality rates comes in studies of domestic violence, most often referring to the series of studies by Arthur Kellermann, although other studies are generally in agreement.
		Gun control opponent Gary Kleck agrees with the basic finding, however, that contrary to a widespread perception, the overall frequency of homicide in the home by an invading stranger is much less than that of domestic violence.

	THE IDEOLOGY OF GUN OWNERSHIP AND GUN CONTROL IN THE UNITED STATES
		That gun control advocates oppose the private use of force even in situations where they acknowledge that innocent lives would be saved suggests that the core issue from their viewpoint is not whether gun control will save lives, but some other value.
		Some gun prohibitionists are uncomfortable, though, with certain aspects of American culture, including the individualism and violence, and the difficult to control minorities, immigrants, and "rednecks." Part of the way to resolve the cognitive dissonance of loving America but despising certain parts of it is to rationalize away the parts one despises.
		In short, while guns are for some people a symbol of individualism or of other values, gun control may sometimes be a symbol of opposition to violence, or of opposition to the kinds of persons who are considered to be gun owners.

		As for gun control, I used to be all for it, but in the last several years I've realized that it's a complicated issue and I don't know what the solution is. I think a clear interpretation of the 2nd Amendment is desperately needed.
		Full auto rifles and sub-machine guns are still class III weapons that you need a special permit to get (you have to jump through hoops like getting your sherrif to sign it and it has to be a pre-1980 gun).
		Since states no longer call on everyday people to serve in the militia in times of emergency, it makes no sense to let anyone who wants a gun have one, even people that are otherwise law abiding.
