Guns provides a serious look at important gun control topics in a style accessible to all audiences, as the contributors offer an overview of the reality of guns in modern American society. The increasing rates of gun ownership or use by women, blacks and young gang members have all sparked demands for more stringent gun controls -- even gun prohibition. This collection argues that to understand how or whether the ownership of guns by any group should be regulated, we must first understand how and why people are arming themselves. In addition, the gun control debate on television and in the newspapers has been dominated by material that distracts from a realistic approach to gun control policy. Thoughtful analyses of "assault weapons," the "Brady Bill," waiting periods, and gun control as a public health issue help the reader cut through the rhetoric that oftens surrounds this heated debate. In addition, this powerful work proposes realistic solutions for dealing with the heart of America's modern gun problem: violent young males.
