Gun Control

In the last century, violent crime has increased and supporters of gun ownership declare that owning a gun is the surest means to protect themselves and safeguard their property. Gun-control advocates, however, insist that there are too many guns with too much firepower available to criminals. Have gun-control laws gone too far, or does gun violence show that gun-control laws have not gone far enough? This book discusses and seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the emotional, political, and contentious debate over firearms in American society.
