By the Numbers: Is Private Gun Ownership Responsible for Police Militarization?
- Authors
BIER, DANIEL
- Abstract
The article presents the author's views on the role of private gun ownership in the U.S. on the conflict between citizens and the police, highlighting the views of law professor and blogger Adam Winkler on the issue. He discusses the case of an unarmed African American teenager who was fatally shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Winkler reportedly argued that private gun ownership led police militarization as they are becoming afraid of the people that they have to protect.
