Critics say the focus on law-abiding gun buyers doesn’t address the real issue—bad guys who acquire their weapons illegally. Supporters say that the bill stops thousands of illegal gun purchases and deters crime and violence.

[单项选择]A surge in gun-safety classes is occurring as states relax laws regarding carrying guns.
A growing number of people—many of them women—are acquiring guns for self-protection, says, Don Cates, a retired professor at the Saint Louis University School of Law who has studied the issue of gun control extensively.
Cates says increased interest from women is a significant factor. "Women used to be told that owning a gun is a man’s thing, " Cates says. "That is not the case anymore because women are being told that they should be able to defend themselves."
The issue of gun rights has jumped back into the spotlight after two recent mass shootings — the July 20 assault on an Aurora, Colo., movie theater that killed 12 and Sunday’s attack on a Sikh temple in Wisconsin that left seven dead, including the gunman.

It is less likely to actually kill the burglar so there is less inhibition about actually firing it.

A long gun is much less likely to be played with by children than a hand gun because of its size and weight. (To safety a hand gun by locking it up makes it slow to access if there is a real burglar, while a loaded shotgun can safely be kept by the head of your bed.) The mechanism is simpler so it is less likely than a hand gun, particularly an a
