01.27.09New Article – The Case Against Gun Control
I’ve uploaded a new article – The Case Against Gun Control.
Here’s the abstract:
Gun control violates the right of individuals to control their own property. It also violates economic law. Enforcement of gun control creates incentives to produce guns on the black market. Gun control causes crime and corruption, whereas gun ownership actually deters crime, and is a check against tyrannical government. In a free society, weapons can be controlled through voluntary, peaceful means.
I wrote this after reading John Lott’s More Guns, Less Crime. I wasn’t impressed with his empirical approach, so my goal was to build a case against gun control based on economic principles and theoretical, a priori arguments.
thanks for this info..it really helped me with my government debate on against gun control. i was already against it but your info made more info for me to present about why it is important for the government not to be able to control what we buy..thanks
Thanks so much for this. Like the above comment fromCourtney, this really helped with my debate. :]
Well done! I too have an assignment against gun control. I really appreciate your information and how logical it is. You touched on every legitimate topic against gun control without being emotional or unreasonably biased. Thank you so much!
