Requests:  0 Summary:  "This book offers concise, understandable coverage of all aspects of the issue, including incidence of gun violence; gun control; gun rights; government regulation, legislation, and court decisions; gun organizations (for gun control and for gun rights); gun enthusiast subcultures--for example, hunters, target shooters, and collectors; and U.S. attitudes toward guns. Many of the covered topics are placed in historical and cross-cultural perspective. The new edition of Gun Control in the United States: A Reference Handbook enables the reader to navigate and interpret the research to become sufficiently educated on any specific aspect of the gun issue to make an informed decision--for example, whether to support stricter or more lenient gun control; whether to become a gun owner; whether to support a particular political party or candidate; or whether to develop or to refine a particular philosophy regarding guns. Other aspects of the contemporary gun debate that are addressed include whether the Supreme Court's ruling that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right will withstand future challenges, whether the strong gun regulations used in Europe would be effective and applicable in reducing gun violence in the United States, and whether the diversity explosion created by the high rate of immigration from countries where guns are strictly controlled will soon change the politics of the U.S. gun control debate."--Publisher's website.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.33097 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 363.33097 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.33097 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 363.33097 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList
