Ideas for paper on gun control?

Be careful of the Hitler quote - it is bogus.

Also, be careful of the Switzerland usage as the reason Hitler didn't invade. He didn't have to as the Swiss collaborated to a very large extent. Hitler also said that when he was done with Russia and the UK, he was going to clean the Jews out of Switzerland and didn't see one bit of problem in taking the country.

That's why go with legit scholarly sources and be careful with Internet ramblings without being really well sourced.

Thanks for the advice, all. Tracing the origins of modern gun laws seems the more informed approach, with plenty to write on.

Do the Racial Roots of Gun Control

There are several web sites that discuss this issue, and one of the amicus briefs filed in the Heller case did a superb job of covering the issue. Given the mind-set of most college professors, something that shows gun control as racist will certainly put them in a mental bind!

I have sent you a PM containing an offer to share info which might help with your research paper. The info. is a bit long and detailed to put in a post, and it may not be of general interest to other members.

I have something written about gun control and crime. It essentially has states with lax gun laws versus states with tight ones. It's just a segment, but I'll let you look at it.
