The increasing amount of violence in the United States in recent
years has led to measures to control gun purchases and limit their
availability. Against the arguments of gun-control lobbyists, who
want to further decrease the number of weapons, or even ban guns
altogether, are the voices of those who contend that gun bans are
unrealistic solutions to crime, and serve only to deny a valid form
of self-defense to law-abiding citizens. Going beyond the emotional
appeals and stilted rhetoric on gun control, Guns: Who Should Have
Them? tackles the problems in a straightforward, intelligent
manner. Each chapter in this powerful volume, written by leading
experts in law, criminology, medicine, psychiatry, and feminist
studies, addresses a major issue in the gun-control debate. The
conclusions of this carefully detailed and superbly argued study
are difficult to deny: "gun control" is a red herring that has been
deflecting attention from the true causes of crime, namely, the
breakdown of the family; failed social welfare programs; and
increasing hopelessness among male youths, especially in our
troubled inner cities.
