Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book explores all aspects of the gun control issue, including incidence of gun violence; gun rights; government regulation, legislation, and court decisions; gun organizations (for gun control and for gun rights); gun enthusiast subcultures (hunters, target shooters, collectors); and U.S. attitudes toward guns. It presents current and historical data on U.S. gun violence and places these numbers against international statistics on gun violence. |
