Frequently Asked Questions

What historical event is cited as being fought over gun control?

Who is credited with the 18th-century concept that only outlaws will have guns?

The concept that 'when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns' is attributed to the 18th-century Italian Enlightenment philosopher Cesare Beccaria. His writings influenced the Founding Fathers regarding the dangers of gun control.

What is the legal standing of the police's duty to protect citizens?
