Gun Laws and the ATF debate desk
Would an Assault Weapons Ban Cut Gun Deaths in America? Rifles of every type account for a small share of murders, and the Justice Department's own review of the 1994 ban found no clear effect. Do Red Flag Laws Protect People Without Violating Their Rights? Conservatives are divided: the goal is sound, but a gun-removal order without a prior hearing raises serious due process problems. Are Universal Background Checks Simply Common Sense for Gun Sales? A check on every sale sounds simple, but it cannot be enforced without a registry, and it would not have reached the criminals who get guns outside the law.
