Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A must-read for every American who longs to bring sanity to our nation’s gun laws,” this book debunks the lethal logic behind the myths that have framed the gun control debate (Ariana Huffington, co-founder of HuffingtonPost) The gun lobby’s remarkable success in using engaging slogans to frame the gun control debate has allowed it to block lifesaving gun legislation for decades. But is there any truth to this bumper-sticker logic? Dennis Henigan exposes the mythology and misguided thinking at the core of these pro-gun catchphrases, which continue to have an outsized influence on public attitudes toward guns and gun control. He counters the gun lobby’s messages by weaving together the most compelling current research and insights drawn from the grim reality of deadly gunfire in our homes and communities. Henigan charts a new path toward ending the American nightmare of gun violence. Pro-Gun Myths Include: “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” “An armed society is a polite society.” “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” “Gun control doesn’t work because criminals don’t follow the law.” “Gun manufacturers shouldn’t be responsible for gun crime, any more than Budweiser is responsible for drunk driving.” “We don’t need new gun laws. We just need to enforce the ones we have.” “Gun control is a slippery slope to complete gun bans.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States more than thirty thousand deaths each year can be attributed to firearms. This book on the history of guns in America examines the Second Amendment and the laws and court cases it has spawned. The author’s thorough and objective account shows the complexities of the issue, which are so often reduced to bumper-sticker slogans, and suggests ways in which gun violence in this country can be reduced. Briggs profiles not only protagonists in the national gun debate but also ordinary people, showing the ways guns have become part of the lives of many Americans. Among them are gays and lesbians, women, competitive trapshooters, people in the gun-rights and gun-control trenches, the NRA’s first female president, and the most successful gunsmith in American history. Balanced and painstakingly unbiased, Briggs’s account provides the background needed to follow gun politics in America and to understand the gun culture in which we are likely to live for the foreseeable future.

Download or read book Gun Control written by Robert J. Kukla and published by [Harrisburg, Pa.] : Stackpole Books. This book was released on 1973 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an account of efforts to abolish the private possession of firearms in the United States from the point of view of opponents of gun control legislation. Few subjects have sparked as much controversy and emotion in recent years as gun control. The author, a director of the National Rifle Association, asserts that gun control advocates have often used questionable methods to arouse public support for their cause, ranging from innocent misinformation to open innuendo and deliberate manipulation of facts. He does not attempt to furnish all the arguments on the issue, but quotes statements and reports actions by key persons on both sides of the controversy. Much of the material is based on the author's own involvement in resisting gun control efforts in his home state of Illinois. He also reproduces portions of testimony in congressional hearings, reports of congressional committees, and coverage of the issue by the press. He argues that this material demonstrates an unwarranted effort to deprive citizens of an important right to self-defense at a time in our history when individual liberties are threatened by more and more control. He also asserts that the facts contained in this material show that existing laws, if enforced, would provide more than adequate restraint on violence with firearms. A further implication is that we need harsher punishment for those who use guns to commit crime, rather than the disarming of those who use guns for legitimate recreation and self-defense.
