Gun Control: Government Publications

Compilation of U.S. Government Publications

Government Publications

The government publishes most, if not all, of their modern documents in an online format. For such documents, we link to online government databases that can be searched for relevant material. Older documents, however, can best be found by searching print collections of your local library. Here is a list of both print and online materials that we have available in our collection:
