Handgun Control in the United States
Outline
Thesis: Handguns should be outlawed with the exception of law enforcement
purposes. ... Why Not Real Gun Control? ... The increase in gun use
often stems from urban crack trade. ...
According to Thomas Morganthau, author of Why Not Real Gun Controll? ... According to a survey taken in 1993, gun deaths, including
suicides, now total more than 37,000 a year, and handgun homicides have reached
13,000 a year. ... The answer outraged voters say in poll after poll, is to pass more
restrictive laws to control handguns. ... Handgun Control Inc., the lobbying group that is the prime backer for the
Brady bill, contends that the bill will work and that it is only a first step
toward a "sensible" national gun-control policy that need not include an
outright ban on handguns or some form of licensing for gun owners (Morganthau
34). ... In 1974, the
City of Baltimore de-cided to offer $50 per gun. ... A similar program today could help get illegally owned guns off
the street, especially if combined with national gun control ( Mandel 85).
