"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
-U. S. Constitution, "Amendment II"

"I believe everyody in the world should have guns. Citizens should have bazookas and rocket launchers too. I believe that all citizens should have their weapons of choice. However, I also believe that only I should have the ammunition. Because frankly, I wouldn't trust the rest of the goobers with anything more dangerous than string."
-Scott Adams (Author of Dilbert Comic Strip)

RESOLVED, that the ownership of handguns be legal.

We have books on Gun Control in the library, both in the stacks and in the reference room; do a keyword search for "Gun Control."  As well, you should look at our online resources, including SIRS Researcher, Britannica 2000, and Worldbook 2000.  SIRS, especially, will be a great source.

Also, you should take advantage of our trial subscription to EBSCO online; here you will find lots of newspaper, magazine and journal articles on every topic imaginable, especially the one you are investigating.

Finally, below are some Internet Sites you can use.  If you do your own search, you should use Yahoo! first, as it lists topics much more completely and accurately than if you use an open search engine like Google.

As always, if you need any help, please see me.  The list below is just to get you started; it is not complete.

Remember that you are researching HANDGUNS; most of the sources below deal with gun control in general!  AND, remember that this is a HOT topic; bias is everywhere!
