Domains Of Gun Politics
Various domains of gun politics exist and can be classified into; international, national, state, community, individual, group, religious and corporate domains. There are highly complex political issues when domains intersect such as when a civil jurisdiction has different rights or restrictions than the national government, or if an interest group or secular organization tries to influence local government.
National gun politics usually focus on the rights, responsibilities and restrictions on the use of guns by nationally sponsored groups; the police, military, etc. Gun politics may also involve special cases, such as politics regarding the use of guns during cases of national emergency or need, civil unrest, internal wars, and rebellions. For example, an article on East Timor asserts in its headline, "Timor needs to disarm population for security" and within the article states "seizing weapons that have fallen into civilian hands is the key to lasting peace." Regardless of whether one agrees with or disagrees with that assertion, this is an issue addressing guns at the national political level.

“I shall be a benefactor if I conquer some realms from the night, if I report to the gazettes anything transpiring about us at that season worthy of their attention,—if I can show men that there is some beauty awake while they are asleep,—if I add to the domains of poetry.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“As for fowling, during the last years that I carried a gun my excuse was that I was studying ornithology, and sought only new or rare birds. But I confess that I am now inclined to think that there is a finer way of studying ornithology than this. It requires so much closer attention to the habits of the birds, that, if for that reason only, I have been willing to omit the gun.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“From the beginning, the placement of [Clarence] Thomas on the high court was seen as a political end justifying almost any means. The full story of his confirmation raises questions not only about who lied and why, but, more important, about what happens when politics becomes total war and the truth—and those who tell it—are merely unfortunate sacrifices on the way to winning.”
—Jane Mayer, U.S. journalist, and Jill Abramson b. 1954, U.S. journalist. Strange Justice, p. 8, Houghton Mifflin (1994)
