According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
gun-related deaths have reached epidemic proportions in the Unites
States, snuffing out the lives of well over 30,000 people (with 1/3
homicides and the remainder suicides and accidents) and wounding
many more annually. Everytown organization found that on average,
96 people are killed by guns every day, and for every person killed
by a gun, two more are injured. Seven children and teens are killed
on average daily. Many of the guns used in these killings reach
military-level weapons power, guns which currently remain legal to
purchase. Today in the United States, there are approximately 120.5
firearms per 100 people. The Unites States ranks high when compared
with 22 other wealthy industrialized nations in per capita
gun-related deaths with 3.85 per 100,000 residents, compared, for
example, with the United Kingdom at 0.07, Japan at 0.04, Germany at
0.12, Indonesia at 0.10, and Oman at 0.06. This book covers issues
of firearms violence and efforts at common sense reform from
multiple perspectives, including a culture and climate of firearms
addressed from a historical, social, governmental, legal, and
psychological perspective; political activism and organizing
strategies; and options for reform. It is written in a clear and
accessible style from a progressive political perspective.
