Talk:Gun control

Wow, that is actually rather even-handed. It's not possible to impute either a pro-gun or anti-gun position to the Wikipedia, on the basis of this article. This is an excellent starting point for a more in-depth article.

I suggest more details on the various positions (what they want), as well as the arguments they make defending their positions (why they want it): research and research methods, guiding philosophy, and so on.

Let's leave this up for a few days. Even if gun control and gun politics eventually get merged again, there may be some value in keeping separate articles.

May I hear some other opinions before someone just reverts this article to a redirect? --Ed Poor

I think the two should be merged. Right now, the articles have quite a bit of overlap; I don't see how it helps to have two articles talking about essentially the same thing.

I would even argue for the title "Gun politics in the US" since I don't think the issue exists to any appreciable extent elsewhere, and Gun politics seems to confirm that. AxelBoldt 23:08 Oct 3, 2002 (UTC)

I like the title "Gun politics in the US", because the article seems exclusively focussed on US policy. --Ed Poor

I made today's edits as a series of small changes -- rather than making them all at once, so that other contributors can look at each change in context, using the History feature. This way, if one of my changes isn't as neutral as I thought it was, it's easier to isolate my error and fix the article -- without losing my other valuable (?) changes. --Ed Poor
