DESCRIPTION:<p>Essays in Philosophy<br> Philosophy and Gun Control<br> Volume 16\, Number 2<br> Issue date: July 2015<br> Submission deadline: March 31\, 2015<br> Issue Editor: Christopher A. Riddle (Utica College)<br> <br> Gun violence is an unfortunate reality in our global society. Recent<br> discussions surrounding this topic have been polarizing and emotionally<br> charged. There is an increased need for engagement in a rational and<br> measured debate about the ethics of owning guns and the permissibility or<br> regulating or restricting their ownership.<br> <br> Typical treatments of the topic engage with the conflict between individual<br> rights of autonomy and self-defense and collective rights of freedom from<br> assault and violence. There are also conflicting claims about the ideal way<br> to protect individuals in a society. Some suggest that more private<br> ownership of guns increases collective security and decreases crime while<br> others suggest the contrary: the presence of more guns decreases safety and<br> increases the possibility of violent crime.<br> <br> More generally\, there is a concern about the obligation of the state and its<br> institutions in assuring autonomy rights\, social security\, and individual<br> protection.<br> <br> Essays in Philosophy invites the submission of papers that explore some<br> aspect of philosophy and gun control. Possible topics include\, but are not<br> limited to:<br> autonomy rights<br> freedom<br> self-defense<br> harm reduction<br> obligations of the State<br> crime reduction<br> property rights<br> Constitutional guarantees<br> gun culture and society<br> political and economic implications<br> <br> All submissions should be sent to the general editor via email:<br> <a href="mailto:boersema@pacificu.edu">boersema@pacificu.edu</a></p>
