Summary
Looks at the controversy of gun control from the points of view of those for and against.
In early 2018, teen-led March for Our lives events across the United States protested gun violence, demanded change to save lives, and registered voters toward that end. Doeden explores the history of guns, gun violence, and gun control, while exploring the Second Amendment, gun laws in the United States, legal restrictions to gun ownership, and the devastation of mass shootings. Through an objective look at individual versus collective rights, he provides readers with well-informed answers to questions such as: Should young people own assault rifles? What about terrorists and the mentally ill? -- adapted from Amazon.com info
