Private Handgun Ownership Should Be Outlawed Says Eisenhower
Dr Milton Eisenhower, after leading an 18 month violence study, called for restrictive handgun licensing and removal from private citizens with exceptions for necessary roles. He argued handguns drive bloodshed and hinder crime detection, while rifles and shotguns should remain legal. He urged national urban renewal, stronger law enforcement, and controlled media violence, and suggested lowering the voting age and creating a National Service corps to channel student activism. He left regulation to states, warned against broad gun permissions, and noted home handgun use is rare while many murders occur at home.
