This is hardly surprising, given that just last month, President Joe Biden to enact a plethora of new federal gun legislation.Unfortunately, however, is meaningfully directed at the root causes of gun violence. Many gun control advocates have fooled themselves—and far too many others—into believing that we create safer communities by placing increasingly burdensome restrictions on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.The reality, however, is that firearms are used far more often for lawful purposes than they are used to commit acts of criminal violence. &nbsp;&nbsp;Almost every major study on the issue found that Americans use their firearms in self-defense between&nbsp;&nbsp;a year, according to a 2013 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

That makes them both constitutionally suspect and bad policy.Have an opinion about this article?
