1 Legal regulation of firearms Abstract in english: The thesis sets up three main objectives. Firstly to enrich the public debate by verifying numerous historical arguments, which objectivity and relevancy is unclear. Three chapters of the thesis delve in to these matters, presenting cultural, historical and scientific context for evaluating legal regulation in Europe at large. For substantial demography the right to own and carry a weapon is a symbol of their freedom, while the restrictions represent authoritarian breach of their rights.

The thesis is based on supposition that direct influence of the President in legislative issues is weak or none at all but from his presidential post he can affect which issues are being on this level accented. That is why the first part of the thesis sums up the cultural-historical context of gun control in USA. It means to help the reader to acquire a basic framework for better understanding given issues and to determine the level of importance of gun control debate in American culture. The second chapter analyse Obama's stance on gun control and his reaction on attacks that took place during his presidency and tries to determine how was the attack in Sandy Hook so different from the others that it led to factual attempts for changes in gun control laws on federal level. The last third and also the most extensive part deals with the 113th Congress and gun control bills. It analyses each bill and their voting processes and tries to examine main participators and their real...
