The Truth About Guns: From Bloomberg’s Push for Background Checks on the Private Transfer of Guns to the Impact of Gun Ownership on Crime Rates

 

Michael Bloomberg’s big push has been on background checks on the private transfers of guns.  Who do these laws primarily stop from buying guns? What are their costs?  How well does the current background system really work?  Why do gun control advocates push for these laws?  The talk will also focus on the latest research on gun ownership and crime rates.  And how people’s perceptions of gun ownership is increasing opposition to more gun control.
