abstract="This paper examines gun-control from a consumer-behavior perspective. To this end, the history of gun control legislation in the United States is provided with a focus on handguns. The contribution of handguns to crime versus their deterrent effects are then discussed. Next is an exploration of the close ties between guns and America as a nation. The paper closes with public policy recommendations that are explicitly consumer-based and attempt to balance the needs of gun owners with the interests of society.<p />",
