Natural Law Party on Gun Control

	Natural Law Party on Gun Control Party Platform

Uphold existing gun control laws and reduce crime

Eliminate the climate of fear and tension pervading America�s cities and towns, which is largely responsible for the proliferation of guns and their use in acts of violent crime, through effective crime-prevention programs (see our Crime platform). Uphold existing gun-control legislation as an appropriate balance between public safety and the constitutional right to bear arms. Source: Natural Law Party�s �50-point Action Plan� , Nov 7, 2000

Widespread availability of guns causes crime

The Natural Law Party believes that the widespread availability of guns is, in itself, a significant contributing factor to the rise of violent crime. The Natural Law Party therefore upholds existing gun-control legislation and believes that such legislation represents a suitable balance between safety and the right to bear arms.
