美國槍支控制政策的演變及其對美國社會的影響
發(fā)布時間：2018-09-11 15:42
【摘要】：作為美國最典型的社會問題之一,槍支犯罪已經(jīng)困擾了美國政府很長一段時間。自從憲法第二修正案做出了關(guān)于“持有和攜帶槍支”的規(guī)定,整個國家關(guān)于槍支控制的爭論就一直沒有停息。 為了更好地了解槍控之爭的根源,本文重點研究了美國聯(lián)邦政府槍支管制政策的演變過程及其對美國社會產(chǎn)生的影響。首先,第一章介紹了本文的研究目的,并回顧了相關(guān)文獻的內(nèi)容。第二章則解釋了英國背景對于美國憲法第二修正案的影響,并分析了民兵在美國殖民地經(jīng)歷及獨立革命中發(fā)揮的作用,從中我們可以看出:修正案中提及的“民兵”是指由政府組織各州自行管理的武裝力量,絕非反對槍控者所說的“全體民眾”;而修正案制定者的真正目的是保證民兵最為武裝力量抗衡聯(lián)邦政府的地位,使其能夠維護各州的自由。本章還介紹了最高法院對于相關(guān)案件的決議,作為該結(jié)論的佐證。 在第三章中,作者對聯(lián)邦政府制定的六個重要槍控法案一一作了介紹,它們分別是1934年國家槍支法案、1938年聯(lián)邦槍支法案、1968年槍支控制法案、1993年布萊迪法案、1994年控制暴力犯罪和實施相關(guān)法律的法案、以及1996年家庭暴力犯罪者槍支使用禁令。本章不僅分析了各個法案頒布之時的社會背景,還詳細介紹了各個法案的重要條款。對這些條款進行的比較揭示出美國槍支控制政策發(fā)展的趨勢,即槍控政策變得日益嚴格;但整個發(fā)展過程是曲折前進的,而非簡單的直線前進,這種前進方式生動地反映了支持槍控者和反對槍控者兩種勢力之間的較量。 本文的第四章討論了一個更為實際的話題:美國聯(lián)邦政府的槍支控制政策對美國社會,或者更確切地說,對美國的經(jīng)濟領(lǐng)域和社會安全領(lǐng)域產(chǎn)生了何種影響。作者首先分析了1968年槍支控制法案和1994年突擊類槍支禁令對槍支工業(yè)的進口和國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)的影響,對相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)的研究表明:1968年槍支控制法案導(dǎo)致相關(guān)槍支的進口在法案實施前急劇增長,但在法案實施后出現(xiàn)了大幅回落,而相關(guān)槍支的國內(nèi)產(chǎn)量則是持續(xù)的增長。同時,突擊類槍支禁令也導(dǎo)致了相關(guān)槍支的進口和國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)在達到了峰值后,出現(xiàn)持續(xù)下降。此外,本文還分析了突擊類槍支禁令對持槍犯罪率的影響,以及對槍支導(dǎo)致的受傷和死亡率的影 響。數(shù)據(jù)分析表明:該禁令對上述兩項產(chǎn)生了積極的影響,有效降低了持槍犯罪率和槍支導(dǎo)致的傷害及死亡率。在第五章中,作者總結(jié)了本文的重要觀點,并得出如下結(jié)論:美國聯(lián)邦政府的槍支管制政策正朝著日益嚴格的方向發(fā)展,而決定這種發(fā)展趨勢的重要因素則是槍支管制政策的支持者和反對者之間的力量抗衡。由于這種抗衡,雖然數(shù)據(jù)表明諸如1994年突擊類槍支禁令的法律對美國社會產(chǎn)生了積極的影響,包括大規(guī)模的減少了持槍犯罪率,美國聯(lián)邦政府在最近10年仍然沒能頒布任何新的槍支控制政策,更何況布萊迪法案已經(jīng)于2004年失效。所以,對于美國政府而言,槍支控制的最終實現(xiàn)仍然面臨漫漫長路。
[Abstract]:As one of the most typical social problems in the United States, gun crime has plagued the U.S. government for a long time.
In order to better understand the root of the controversy over gun control, this paper focuses on the evolution of the federal government's gun control policy and its impact on American society. Firstly, the first chapter introduces the purpose of this study and reviews the relevant literature. The second chapter explains the background of Britain for the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. We can see from the analysis of the role played by the militia in the colonial experience and the independent revolution of the United States that the "militia" referred to in the Amendment refers to the armed forces organized by the government and administered by the States themselves, and is by no means opposed to what gun controllers call "the whole people"; and the real purpose of the enactment of the Amendment is to ensure the militia. This chapter also introduces the Supreme Court's decisions on relevant cases as evidence of this conclusion.
In the third chapter, the author introduces six important gun control Acts enacted by the federal government. They are the National Gun Act of 1934, the Federal Gun Act of 1938, the Gun Control Act of 1968, the Brady Act of 1993, the Act on the Control of Violent Crimes and the Implementation of Related Laws in 1994, and the Domestic Violent Offenders'Guns of 1996. This chapter not only analyzes the social background of each bill, but also introduces the important provisions of each bill. The comparison of these Provisions reveals the trend of the development of the gun control policy in the United States, that is, the gun control policy has become increasingly stringent; but the whole development process is tortuous, not a simple straight line. Forward, this way of forward vividly reflects the contest between the two forces that support and oppose gun control.
Chapter 4 of this paper discusses a more practical topic: what impact the federal government's gun control policy has on American society, or rather, on the economic and social security spheres of the United States. The author first analyzes the impact of the 1968 Gun Control Act and the 1994 assault gun ban on the gun industry. Impacts of the Gun Control Act of 1968 on the import of related firearms before the implementation of the Act, but after the implementation of the Act there has been a sharp decline in domestic production of related firearms is a continuous growth. At the same time, the assault ban on firearms also led to the import of related firearms. In addition, the impact of the ban on assault firearms on the rate of gun-holding crimes and the effects on gun-related injuries and mortality are also analyzed.
Data analysis shows that the ban has a positive impact on the above two items, effectively reducing the rate of gun crime and the injury and mortality caused by guns. An important factor in this trend is the confrontation between supporters and opponents of gun control policies. Because of this confrontation, although the data show that laws such as the 1994 assault gun ban have had a positive impact on American society, including a massive reduction in gun crime, the federal government has in the last decade No new gun control policies have yet been enacted, let alone the Brady Act, which expired in 2004. So, for the U.S. government, the ultimate realization of gun control still faces a long way to go.
