One thought on “Policy Memo: Gun Control

  1. I’m convinced that this is a serious matter. However, a few comments:

    1. At the beginning of the paper you say that gun violence is the leading cause of fatalities. But you only give evidence that 30 deaths a day result from gun violence. I’m not quite convinced it’s the leading cause of fatalities, unless you give more supportive evidence, and better contextualize that claim.

    2. For future work, I think it could be worthwhile for you to explain how U.S. gun control can be compared to Australia and Japan’s laws. Are there other potential factors that could be influencing gun violence in Australia and Japan?

    3. It may be useful to further delve into why gun violence is so prevalent in our nation. Yes, it’s a right of ours, but why do we have such a big gun culture?
