When the Constitution was first amended, the founders included the right of the people to keep and bear arms. In the eighteenth and nineteenth century, no citizen even fathomed a government ban on personally owned weapons. Over time, however, this principle has become less accepted and more debated. Indeed, recent events point to what some might describe a gun violence epidemic in the 17 United States; the Aurora and Newtown mass shootings are a few examples. Because of these events, policymakers have suggested new regulation to attempt to control gun crime. Does government regu- lation of over-the-table markets really reduce violence? Is gun prohibition constitutional? Most im- portantly, are there alternatives? This month, we present you a wide array of opinions concerning gun laws, including opinions on the feasibility, history, and utility of such laws.
