The Politics of Gun Control

by Robert J. Spitzer

"The authoritative standard for anyone seeking fair-minded analysis of the American gun debate, the third education of The Politics of Gun Control homes in on three key culture shocks that have shaped the politics of gun control in America today: the shootings at Columbine High School, the partisan gun-control positions staked out before and after the 2000 election, and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Written with insight and showcasing the wide-ranging debate, this edition also examines such important issues as the proliferation of concealed-carry laws, liability lawsuits filed against gun manufacturers, the NRA's political contributions to Republicans, and the controversy surrounding the assault weapons ban, bringing this popular and well-respected book right up to date."--Jacket.
