According to the cost-benefit analysis, the $49.5 million benefits and $137.5 million cost suggested that Ford implementation of safety improvements would totally outweighed their benefits. (Kelman, S. 2001) (81 words) 3. Utilitarians would say that jeopardizing motorists does not by itself make Ford’s action morally objectionable.

This paper will show there is no common sense in banning all firearms as a means gun control and it leaves law abiding citizens increasingly vulnerable to violent crimes. No Common Sense in Gun Control Over the past forty years, legislators have spent a lot of time, effort and revenue on legislation regarding gun control. Gun control advocates insist that increased gun control will lower the soaring crime rates of the early 70's. However, “recent research on the prevalence of defensive gun use has prompted growing concern that government efforts to regulate gun ownership and use may be counterproductive” (Ludwig, 2000, p. 363).
However, a regular Australian man was trying to talk to his former girlfriend at a nightclub in Bali and was pushed to the ground and punched while four of the attacker’s friends watched on and kicked the victim.

If society did not have double standards as to what behaviour is considered acceptable than all people should face the same penalties for women abuse. In 2009 Nathan Bock assaulted his girlfriend.
Not only did this study state that the weapons banned were only used in a small percent of crimes even before the ban, but also "found no statistical evidence of post-ban decreases in either the number of victims per gun-homicide incident, the number of gunshot wounds per victim, or the proportion of gunshot victims with multiple wounds. "(Koper, Roth 67) So even if Congress bans these vaguely named assault weapons it will most likely be as ineffective as the last time they did so. Some take issue with the ban not because of its’ functionality problems, but because they feel it violates their rights as
