As part of a 1998 special report on the gun control debate, Time Magazine has provided an article which ran in 1968 about the issue. Some things have changed, and some things haven’t.

I found both the 1968 article and the 1998 article quite biased, and neither included statistics on gun use in self-defense, one of the biggest reasons I am taking action on second amendment rights.

However, some of Lott’s statistics are given in the sidebar article: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/1998/dom/980706/box2.html although they are contested.

And there’s a transcript of a chat between Douglas Weil of HCI and Lott.

There is also a current poll about gun control at
