Gun Control IssuesPerhaps no issue is more controversial and significant in today's society than gun control. Even the words themselves are controversial. Proponents of effective gun control point out that where ever there is gun regulation in the world, there seems to be a clear lower rate of violent crime. Opponents of gun control point out that it is difficult if not impossible to stop guns from falling into the hands of 'high risk' individuals. This superb book gathers the pro's, the con's and the data and puts it into an understandable presentation. |
