Gun Violence and Mass Shootings

The mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in February 2018, renewed the national debate over gun violence, a debate led by the students themselves. This book examines possible solutions to reducing gun deaths and the controversies surrounding specific proposals. It also explores the factors-historical, cultural, and constitutional-that make the United States an outlier among industrial nations in gun violence.
