After the many recent mass shootings, gun control is being debated seriously again. Because the NRA and other gun advocates criticize gun critics about their lack of knowledge of guns, it is important for proponents of gun control to have their facts straight. This book is a highly readable overview of guns and the issues around gun control. Starting with first principles, like "what is a gun?", it addresses a long list of key questions on the effectiveness of gun regulations and other issues. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

No topic is more polarizing than guns and gun control. From a gun culture that took root early in American history to the mass shootings that repeatedly bring the public discussion of gun control to a fever pitch, the topic has preoccupied citizens, public officials, and special interest groups for decades. This book delves into the issues that Americans debate when they talk about guns. With a balanced and broad-ranging approach, one author a noted economist, and the other author a political scientist, thoroughly cover the latest research, data, and developments on gun ownership, gun violence, the firearms industry, and the regulation of firearms. They also tackle sensitive issues such as the effectiveness of gun control, the connection between mental illness and violent crime, the question of whether more guns make us safer, and ways that video games and the media might contribute to gun violence. No discussion of guns in the U.S. would be complete without consideration of the history, culture, and politics that drive the passion behind the debate. The authors explore the origins of the American gun culture and the makeup of both the gun rights and gun control movements. Written in question-and-answer format, the book will help readers make sense of the ideologically driven statistics and slogans that characterize our national conversation on firearms. This book gives a clear view of the issues surrounding guns and gun policy in America.--Publisher's description. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
