¶ … gun control. They counter argumnents I invalidated Counter Arguments Violation Second Amendment Right Gun control laws directly violate a citizen's bear arms granted amendment constitution.
There is much controversy with regard to gun-control laws and to the effect they have on society in general. While individuals in the U.S. In particular have been accustomed to living in a gun culture, more and more people have started to express doubt with regard to pro-gun laws and to whether or not they help the masses feel safer. The government has attempted to introduce a series of gun laws in recent years with the purpose of controlling the general public and in order to make it more difficult for potential criminals to get their hands on firearms.

"An optimal amount of gun law enforcement would be at the level at which the marginal cost of reducing a crime...
By simply considering the fact that gun laws lead to less guns on the streets, it would be safe to say that gun laws are actually efficient. Taking into account the wide range of variables that influence gun-related crimes, it is especially difficult for the authorities to come up with clear results to back this assumption.
Studies that are methodologically rigorous are not very common and this thus makes it difficult for the masses to gain a complex understanding of the degree to which gun laws are good for society in general.

"The reality is that if…

George W. Bush's Arms Control Policies Following the end of the Cold War, the United States found itself the sole remaining superpower with an arms control policy geared largely towards winning a race that was already over. George W. Bush's arms control policies were an attempt to make a clean break from the past, reasserting and verifying American military power and projection through a new set of policies designed to maintain
Public concern over safety, which was fueled by the rhetoric and misinformation of the Bush administration and others, enabled swift and sweeping reforms in the way the federal government and the military conducts itself both at home and abroad. The recently released torture memos are emblematic of the shift in attitude that took place amid the power structure of the national government of the United States, and to a

Involved people in these illegal transfers take advantage of institutional weaknesses and corruption to achieve their objectives. One of the constant features found along the research is the weak handling of systematic information by the state authorities, especially from the police bodies. At the same time, the lack of channels that facilitate the free access to information about official proceedings make it difficult for the citizens to take part in
