TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - A broader perspective of gun control JO - American journal of orthopsychiatry A1 - Hargrove, David S. A1 - Perdue, Roland P. SP - 225 EP - 227 VL - 85 IS - 3 N2 - The point of this commentary is not to advocate for either position. Rather, the aim is to put the matter of gun control into a broader context, inclusive of a theological and spiritual perspective. Shining a different light on the roots of gun control provides a different understanding of it. A different understanding has the potential to change the tone of the national debate. It is the authors' belief that the tone and complexity of the national debate does not stem from the content of the issue but from the emotionality. The perspective of this comment is taken from a systems view of life in America that includes an attempt to move away from an individual perspective. (PsycINFO Database Record
