All,
 My daughter is a junior in high school and has chosen the topic "Gun Control" for her term / research paper.  Obviously she is pro-gun and needs lots of crediblemcitable material.  I really appreciate any sources especially VCDL and NRA sources.  Thank you.

Try googling GAO and gun control.  The GAO for the most parts has unbiased reports and they have bound to have done some studies on the issue.

This is a well-referenced collection of arguments that she should find useful.

Interesting. When I was a junior in high school (5 years ago...yikes! ) I did a thing on gun control, basically showing that the "ballistic fingerprinting" crap does nothing to stop or solve crimes. Since the brady bunch pushed that subject after the beltway shootings (which was close to home) it was very relevant. Even though my teacher at the time (for that class) was from NJ he gave hints that he was pro-gun. If nothing else, he knew his stuff as he always used proper terminology and knew (correct) facts about various firearms. After I finished my presentation I got a few positive questions from come classmates, like age requirements, etc.

Tell her to write this....

Gun Control - I have a gun, therefore I have control.

Gun Control means using two hands.

This is probably not useful at the high school level (where I assume the assignment is not so in-depth) and it only points you to sources rather than supplying the content, but here is something some of you may want to bookmark:

I have a paper that I wrote on gun control for college a few years ago, I could e-mail it to you if you'd like, just as an example to look at... I think I got an A even though my teacher was a big time liberal (which is what made me pick gun control as a subject )

I would enjoy reading your paper, I am sure it will provide valuable insights.  Honestly, I would never let her plagiarize anyone else's work.  I will read her drafts and provide editing support, but her work will be all her own.
