The gun control debate in the US
par James B. Jacobs, Claire Richard,
publié le 08/04/2014
- I consider myself a gun control skeptic. I do not believe, at this point in our history, with 300 millions firearms in private hands, and a constitutional right to keep and bear arms, and a political situation in which there is a very very small number of politicians who are willing to take a strong position on firearms, that there is a serious potential for regulatory controls.

Aurélie Godet s'interroge ici sur le statut de l'idéologie conservatrice aux Etats-Unis, remettant en cause l'idée d'une tradition conservatrice ancrée dans le pays au profit d'une idéologie qui se développe en réaction à une conjoncture sociale ou économique particulière.
