I've revised the page so that it contains a very brief and hopefully not too controversial statement of the debate. As the sections get filled in, we'll have to watch them carefully for bias. I'm not sure about the title [/Balance? of Power] for that page. The page is supposed to discuss the role of privately owned guns in aiding people in (for better or worse) fighting against an existing government. Such a page should cover the widely held view among the "Founding Fathers" of the United States that widespread ownership of guns was important for the maintenance of a good government, as well as covering the widely held modern view that rebels with guns are a bad thing. Anyhow, I'm not sure what to call that page. |

It seems as if at least some mention should be made here of the Brady bill. :And of other recent gun policy changes. For example, academic research by [John Lott]? shows a decrease in crime in states which have enacted liberalized laws for concealed carry -- this has been a major trend since the 1990s. All of this should be covered on the Gun Politics page as we flesh it out. |
