Description
The Gun Debate: What Everyone Needs to Know A balanced and broad-ranging exploration of the issues surrounding guns in America. Economist Philip J. Cook and political scientist Kristin A. Goss delve into the latest research, data, and developments on gun ownership, gun violence, the firearms industry, and regulation of firearms. They tackle sensitive topics such as the effectiveness of gun control, mental illness and violent crime, and whether more guns make us safer. The authors also examine the history, culture, and politics driving the passion behind the debate, including the origins of the American gun culture and the makeup of both the gun rights and gun control movements. In a question-and-answer format, this book helps readers make sense of the ideologically driven statistics and slogans that characterize our national conversation on firearms.
