Abstract

As one of the most contested national disputes, the gun control debate has been viewed as being characterized by embellished claims, biases, and extreme statements. Both sides are absolutely convinced that they are right. Both sides seemingly cannot understand each other. This research looks at the effects of an extreme form of gun control -- mandatory sentencing of persons possessing a handgun, even if they did not intend to use it in a crime.
