Both the history of the gun control debate, as well as the focus
the debate will take in the future, are explored in this unique
collection of over 200 documents spanning 200 years. High school
and undergraduate students can use this resource--one of the
largest collections of key documents concerning the issue of gun
control--to explore the seminal arguments for and against further
restrictions on guns. Each document is preceded by an explanatory
head note to aid the student researcher in understanding and
appraising the primary source.
An advisory board of distinguished specialists and teachers on
both sides of the debate assisted Bijlefeld with the selection of
documents. All aspects of the debate are examined, including the
history and development of the Second Amendment and its modern
interpretations, as well as the political climate surrounding the
debate. Users can investigate explanations of federal and state gun
control measures, how they are passed into law, and gun control's
role in today's political debates. Examining the future of the
debate, Bijlefeld provides documents that explore the developing
legal theories, the increased attention by criminologists, and the
role played by the public health and law enforcement communities.
The volume serves as a comprehensive source of key documents as
well as a guide to additional sources covering specific topics.
