International human rights law, while not recognizing any right to self-defense and its means, requires states to reasonably restrict access to firearms as part of state's obligations to protect the right to life ^[1]

Mortality Rates in USA

After reading the article, I thought it did a good job delivering the message of mortality due to firearms. The article gave a lot of good data about the topic and helped support the argument they were defending. In my opinion, the author is very repetitive with his facts and sources. I would leave the amount of information about the topic because it helps the message he is trying to deliver. Something I would change would to disperse the information evenly through the article to not overwhelm the reader all at once. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.51.93.165 (talk) 07:42, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the term?

When and where did the term "gun control" originate? Is it a euphemism for something else? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.80.149 (talk) 21:15, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
