Point Blank: Guns and Violence in America (Social Institutions and Social Change)

There is little doubt that gun violence and control are issues of vital importance, and they continue to inspire national debate. It is doubtful, however, whether most gun debates are worth listening to. Not surprisingly, such debates generally leave their participants exactly where they began, with their biases intact, and onlookers perplexed. Written deliberately to counter an atmosphere of hysteria and extremism, Point Blank, now in paperback, offers logical argument supported by empirical information. It confronts fundamental questions head-on.Gary Kleck is the author of 'Point Blank: Guns and Violence in America (Social Institutions and Social Change)', published 1991 under ISBN 9780202304199 and ISBN 0202304191.
