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. In this
thoroughly revised second edition of The Gun Debate: What Everyone
Needs to Know (R) noted economist Philip J. Cook and political
scientist Kristin A. Goss delve into the issues that Americans
debate when they talk about guns. With a balanced and broad-ranging
approach, the authors thoroughly cover the latest research, data,
and developments on gun ownership, gun violence, the firearms
industry, and the regulation of firearms. The authors also tackle
sensitive issues such as the impact of gun violence on quality of
life, the influence of exposure to gun violence on mental health,
home production of guns, arming teachers, the effect of concealed
weapons on crime rates, and the ability of authorities to disarm
people who aren't allowed to have a gun. 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.
Cook and Goss deftly 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, this updated
edition brings the debate up-to-date for the current political
climate under Trump and will help readers make sense of the
ideologically driven statistics and slogans that characterize our
national conversation on firearms. This book is a must-read for
anyone interested in getting a clear view of the issues surrounding
guns and gun policy in America.
