The debate over gun control is a complex and compelling one that
has created a deep divide between gun rights and gun control
supporters. Student researchers can use this reference source to
explore the issue through the lives of fifty people who have become
actively involved in either supporting gun control and stricter
laws, or in supporting the rights of people to own and carry guns.
This unique approach to the debate provides profiles of these
individuals, highlighting the different reasons for each person's
deep involvement in the debate and the different elements involved
in the debate as a whole.
Victims of gun violence, police officers, physicians, and Second
Amendment scholars are among those who put a human face on this
complicated debate. Readers can expect to experience a range of
emotions and a questioning of their own views as they explore the
complex issues of individual rights, the role of government and law
enforcement, public health questions, and social issues such as
gang violence and the need for safe communities from a variety of
perspectives. A thorough introduction outlining the debate,
references to additional sources, and complete lists of federal and
state gun laws are additional tools this volume provides to help
students understand the complexity of this divisive social
issue.
