"Because the chics dig it"? HAHAHA.

Hahaha... Theres the conclusion right there

Oh I definitely will! worked too hard on this not to show it off a bit!

Too cool.... make sure you post a copy of the final product when you are done. (That is if you don't mind openly posting your work) I would be interested in reading it and also hearing the grade you get and any points deducted or rebuttle anyone has.

Its a persuasion essay, 5-8 pages double spaced. Cited references, yes!

What's the class? What type of paper? What format? Cited references? How long? These all come into play as to how you will address the information in the paper and many times what pieces of information you want to address.

Well, the over all aim is how the presence of firearms benefits society as a whole right? So your main topics of hunting and CCW are really just things that also benefit society, but wouldn't be possible without firearms. Have I got a good understanding of your angle so far?

My plan is to break the paper into three main sections and discuss them at length... CCW, Hunting and one more if I can figure one out

How about if the concept of force equalization justifies the use of firearms or not? It might be a tad more difficult because "force equalization" as a concept is a little more abstract than something like CCW or Hunting as those both have tangible permits and measurable data. What other ideas have crossed your mind?

[CowboyTuff]

I'm probably going to do economy, because to me that is the next logical choice

[Irving]

Economy as in how sales create/maintain jobs in the US?

The local gunsmithing school might have some helpful info, too, like job placement and demand for their grads, the jobs provided to their instructors, etc. Just a thought.

MB888, I would argue that teh low crime rate in Japan has more to do with how they treat criminals caught instead of a no firearm policy. Their traditional of cultural familial honor also plays a huge role.

Give me a chance to look into this as I can't come up with a bibliography, but, I heard a little while back that the murder rate in Japan is very low, but it may have more to do with their laws as such. Word was the Yakuza (Japanese Mafia) kills a lot of people and owns most of the construction companies in Japan, and their MO is to hide bodies in foundations of buildings prior to further construction. In Japan it cannot be called a murder without a body, and as these are nearly impossible to find, the murder rate is significantly lower than actual. This was from a Japanese police officer, but I can't say from where yet.
