Firearms regulation: A historical overview
Article Abstract:
Gun regulation is a constant component of American law, running from the first settlements in the Chesapeake to the present. Until the middle of the 20th century, American gun laws had a coherent and clear goal of limiting access to firearms to reliable citizens, but since World War II, efforts at gun regulation are usually prevented by the polarizing enthusiasm for guns among a large segment of the country's population.
