Will further restrictions on public access to handguns or their outright prohibition reduce violent crime? Is America’s armed populace an effective deterrent to criminal activity, or do the weapons held by private citizens constitute a far greater menace to family members, acquaintances, and the gun owner himself than any possible criminal incursion? Does the individual citizen have the right to bear arms?
The Gun Control Debate: You Decide addresses these and other questions central to gun control controversy by presenting the often conflicting views of historians, criminologists, jurists, and public health officials. It also considers the more generic question of whether the gun control debate may be symptomatic of a much larger struggle to define what kind of society America should be. This unique volume gives the concerned reader a better opportunity to make an informed judgment about the relative merits of various gun control procedures.
