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.
The Gun Debate: What Everyone Needs to Know(r) delves into the
issues that Americans debate when they talk about guns. With a
balanced and broad-ranging approach, noted economist Philip J. Cook
and political scientist Kristin A. Goss 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 effectiveness of gun
control, the connection between mental illness and violent crime,
the question of whether more guns make us safer, and ways that
video games and the media might contribute to gun violence. 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, the book 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.
