Citation #3:Gun control and the Second Amendment Hand, Carol, 1945- author.; Rostron, Allen, consultant.2017

Summary:This book is about gun control and the second amendment takes the control of gun ownership but even after this amendment was created there have still been casualties around the US.

Reflection:The reflection of this book is that even after creating a law that put control over gun ownership people still take advantage of that law and that is why there have been a lot of casualties because of gun ownership.

Quotation:Despite state and local laws, the Second Amendment remained relatively undiscussed in the courts for more than 150 years.Winkler notes that, before 1959, very few articles on the Second Amendment were published in law journals, and none argued in favor of an individual’s right to bear arms. Then, between 1980 and 1999, there were 125 law review articles on the Second Amendment, most supporting the individual-rights viewpoint. Individual-rights supporters began to describe their viewpoint as the “standard model” of Second Amendment interpretation, and the name stuck, despite its short history.Also, despite gun laws, it became extremely easy to obtain firearms. Guns are sold at chain stores and family shops. A background check takes only minutes, and less than 1 percent of requests are denied. 4 A person who fails a background check can easily obtain a gun through the Internet, from a friend or family member, or at a gun show. Notorious events throughout the 1900s caused many people to question the wisdom of nearly unrestricted gun access and led to calls for stricter national gun control. But attempts to strengthen gun regulations result in strong push backs from gun rights advocates. Most gun regulation still occurs at the state and local levels, and laws vary greatly from state to state.
