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] Hotbridge (talk) 15:16, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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]

Name of this article

Editor 張泰銘 recently renamed this article, here, from "Gun control" to "Firearms Regulation". Renaming an article can be a pretty significant change, especially when the topic is controversial, so I'm starting this talk page section for editors to discuss the article name. (Speaking for myself, I want to think about it some more. But if we go with "Firearms regulation", the second word should not be capitalized, per the Manual of Style.) — Mudwater (Talk) 05:44, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that we should call it "gun control". Snooganssnoogans (talk) 18:29, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Honestly don't think there's a rule on wikipedia saying 1) you can't do stuff cuz it's controversial. 2) an individual can't make a significant change. Besides, do you think GC is neutral or FR is neutral. For whoever's sake would you please even read what the article's talking about? Do you think we should name every little thing the way it's been commonly referred to or as a NEUTRAL POV?

Cuz however I consider it, "gun control" does not sound neutral to me? The biggest thing in the current conversation is about banning assault weapons and bg checks. Does either of those have to do with GUN control? That's why.

On wkpedia, the rules and policies trump admins. Like in the US, the constitution trumps the president. But they could be temporarily making a wrong decision with their given executive power, but it just won't last very long. 張泰銘 (talk) 22:20, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I said everything very clearly in here, some folks just won't stop. Now I can't trigger a battle but I believe eventually I'll win. His reasoning just ain't good enuf. It's pure and simple. 張泰銘 (talk) 22:52, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
