| Description: |
The issue of gun control has been brought to the forefront of American consciousness following recent school shootings, yet it is not at the top of the political agenda. This book takes a step back from both advocates and oponents of gun control to survey the US gun landscape and related matters. |
| Synopsis: |
Neither a call for gun prohibition nor a diatribe against gun control, this book is intended for those with a particular interest in firearms, as well as serious students of public policy and criminal justice. In addition to covering a century of gun control policy, the author addresses such current issues as assault weapons, right-to-carry and concealed-carry laws, school shootings, and recent elections. Unlike its several counterparts, Shots in the Dark sheds light on a balanced and pragmatic approach to gun control legislation. |
