Correction: Here is the article that Zakaria was accused of Plagiarizing. It is long but a good history of gun control in America.

"One in three Americans knows someone who has been shot. As long as a candid discussion of guns is impossible, unfettered debate about the causes of violence is unimaginable. Gun-control advocates say the answer to gun violence is fewer guns. Gun-rights advocates say that the answer is more guns: things would have gone better, they suggest, if the faculty at Columbine, Virginia Tech, and Chardon High School had been armed. That is the logic of the concealed-carry movement; that is how armed citizens have come to be patrolling the streets. That is not how civilians live. When carrying a concealed weapon for self-defense is understood not as a failure of civil society, to be mourned, but as an act of citizenship, to be vaunted, there is little civilian life left." - Jill Lepore

Thanks for sending Abhinav. I could not access the site earlier. I just found out that Fareed Zakaria had plagiarized someone elses article from The New Yorker. CNN removed the article and suspended Zakaria and his CNN show until further notice. This is ashame, because Zakaria is a smart and respected political analyst and writer. But he did not act wisely.
Here is the article from Jill Lepore that Zakaria plagiarized from:
