Answer 3

Nope.  The CDC did a study...The Task Force found insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of any of the firearms laws or combinations of laws reviewed on violent outcomes.

Answer 4

Not directly

If you have all firearms with titles, or if they need to be registered with each transfer of ownership, then it is easier to see how weapons end up in the hands of people who shouldn't have them as there is a paper trail back to how the weapon was given/ stolen by the criminal.

It will stop the flow of gun dealers being able to sell guns to criminals off the books.

Initially it will have little impact as the market is flooded with weapons, but as time goes on, finding a unregistered weapon will be more and more difficult

Answer 5

Gun control does not work. This has been proven over and over in many countries.

I applaud the Supreme Court!

These are not just cliches:

"When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns."

and

"An armed man is a Citizen, an unarmed man is a Subject"

A great book on this subject is "More Guns, Less Crime" by John Lott.

Answer 6

Nope

Answer 7

If anything gun control proves that it does not fight crime. It fights law abiding gun owners that follow the law.

Answer 8

Based on the raw facts, no, they don't.  The U.K. is proof of that.

Answer 9

Gun restrictions:

DC: toughest in the nation

Arizona: among the weakest

Gun violence:

DC: highest in the Nation

Arizona: among the lowest.

connect the dots, people.

Answer 10

Yes, gun control significantly increases gun violence by disarming law-abiding citizens and emboldening criminals.

Answer 11

The only people affected by gun control laws are the law-abiding citizens who do not commit crimes in the first place.
