In contrast, following a similar event in Montreal in 1989, Canada created new comprehensive gun policy.Such different outcomes are the focus of this survey, which sets out to explore the gun policymaking process in the U.S. and Canada in the aftermath of major events. It explores the many factors that lead to the drastically different reactions of the federal governments in each state if the aftermath of a mass shooting or assassination. To do so, it examines such elements as institutional arrangements, interest groups pressures (NRA, e.g.), and the party in power, studying the impact of such key events as the assassinations of J.F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Georgina Leimonis and shootings that occurred at Columbine, Stockton, and Vernon.A unique comparative study, Gun Policy in the United States and Canada will be an essential resource to anyone researching gun policy issues and comparative policymaking."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aGun control$zCanada 606 $aGun control$zUnited States 606 $aViolent crimes$zCanada 606 $aViolent crimes$zUnited States 606 $2Comparative politics 615 0$aGun control 615 0$aGun control 615 0$aViolent crimes 615 0$aViolent crimes 676 $a363.330973 700 $aFleming$b Anthony K.$0163973 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960419503321 996 $aGun policy in the United States and Canada$94336301 997 $aUNINA
