This paper discusses both sides of the argument of gun
control and concludes that better control is essential. It first looks
at the original intention of the 2nd amendment. It then discusses how many
children have easy access to firearms. The 1939 case and court ruling of "US vs. Miller" is discussed which rejected the view that the second amendment was intended as protection of an individual's right to bear arms. It also explains the concept of criminalization of bearing arms.
