The move came amidst the island nation’s ongoing program to confiscate commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms from law-abiding gun owners that will last through December 20. The government’s most recent attack on gun owners is likely to engender further civil disobedience to the firearm confiscation scheme</td></tr></table><table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="table"><tr><td style="padding:10px 0 0 0;">&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" class="table"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0 15px 15px 0;"><a href="[link removed]" target="_blank"><img src="[link removed]" alt="“Smart” Guns and Mandatory Storage: Two Bad Policy Ideas Cut from the Same Tattered Cloth" width="600" border="0" style="display:block;" class="respImages" /></a></td></td></tr></tbody></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0 0 15px 0;"><a style="color:#bd1300; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; font-size:12px; text-decoration:none;" href="[link removed]">NEWS</a> &nbsp;<br /><a style="color:#000000; font-family:Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size:22px; line-height:28px; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;" href="[link removed]" target="_blank">“Smart” Guns and Mandatory Storage: Two Bad Policy Ideas Cut from the Same Tattered Cloth</a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td class="summaryText" style="color:#737f80; font-size:16px; line-height:21px; padding:10px 0 0 0;">Whenever a tragedy strikes that involves a firearm, no matter how statistically rare the event may actually be, you can count on anti-gun extremists to try to exploit it. The responses from those opposed to the Second Amendment upon hearing that a fatality resulted when a firearm was used by a criminal, or accessed by someone who should not have access, tend to sound fairly similar. If a ban isn’t the response selected from the handful of ideas gun control advocates have been promoting for decades, then added restrictions on law-abiding gun owners is the policy du jour.
Restricting access to guns is a very popular notion among those who feel there should be far less freedom when it comes to responsible gun ownership.</td></tr></table><table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="table"><tr><td style="padding:10px 0 0 0;">&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" class="table"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0 15px 15px 0;"><a href="[link removed]" target="_blank"><img src="[link removed]" alt="A Pair of Academics Question Gun Control Orthodoxy" width="600" border="0" style="display:block;" class="respImages" /></a></td></td></tr></tbody></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0 0 15px 0;"><a style="color:#bd1300; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; font-size:12px; text-decoration:none;" href="[link removed]">NEWS</a> &nbsp;<br /><a style="color:#000000; font-family:Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size:22px; line-height:28px; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;" href="[link removed]" target="_blank">A Pair of Academics Question Gun Control Orthodoxy</a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td class="summaryText" style="color:#737f80; font-size:16px; line-height:21px; padding:10px 0 0 0;">Given that so much gun policy research is explicitly funded by individuals hostile to our right to keep and bear arms, gun owners are right to be skeptical of academics who delve into the topic. However, there are times when well-respected academics have proven confident enough to challenge the prevailing left-wing orthodoxies on gun control. Such is the case with recent pieces from Northeastern University Professor of Criminology, Law, and Public Policy James Alan Fox and Harvard Kennedy School of Government Research Fellow Thomas Abt.</td></tr></table>
