Dan Baum, in his article “The Price of Gun Control,”
contends that in our efforts to curb violence in America we are making a
mistake by focusing on guns. He states: “It’s true that America’s rate of
violent crime remains higher than in most European countries. But to focus on
guns is to dodge a painful truth. America is more violent than other countries
because Americans are more violent than other people. . . . by obsessing over
inanimate pieces of metal, we avoid looking at what brings us more often than
others to commit violent acts.” Do you agree that “Americans are more violent
than other people”? Should we be focusing on gun control in our efforts to curb
violence? Why or why not?
