Abstract

This paper examines the apparent discrepancy between public opinion and congressional action with regards to the implementation of further gun control policies within the United States. Through the examination of the history of congressional decision making as well as the history of gun control policies, it is the main contention of this paper that under the current policy-making environment within the United States further gun control measures will fail to come to materialize.
