A good comprehensive read regarding gun control.

Some would interpret this as a declaration of war on the people of the United States. If that is what you advocate, it might be interesting.

From the second page:

"We have pressed supply-side rules at the margin—e.g., with prospective limits on supply and restrictions on obscure categories of guns—all while denying that disarmament is the ultimate goal.5 This recipe for gun control has yielded disappointing results."

Try reading beyond the second page.

The author shows that gun bans increase crime, that registration leads to confiscation, that the AWB was stupid, and that making life difficult for retailers doesn't work. He then concludes: "Policymakers who continue to press legislation grounded on the supply-side ideal while disclaiming the goal of prohibition are deluded or pandering."

This article presents a powerful argument AGAINST attempts to restrict the supply of firearms in America.
