Abstract
This presentation will begin by looking at the concept of deep disagreements and how it relates to the current debate on gun-control in America. Deep disagreements occur when people do not share the same underlying assumptions as coined by Fogelin (1985). Next, I will examine the issue of gun-control through the two main arguments of the pro-gun party: that guns make America a safer place and that the U.S. Constitution grants American citizens the right to bear arms. I will then offer anti-gun arguments against these claims as well as independent anti-gun claims in an attempt to rationally reconcile the two sides. Lastly, I will conclude with the assertion that the debate on gun-control is in fact rationally reconcilable.
