Subjects: Gun control United States
Abstract: "The debate over gun control is a complex and compelling one that has created a deep divide between supporters of gun rights and gun control. Student researchers can use this reference source to explore the issue through the lives of fifty people who have become actively involved in either supporting gun control and stricter laws, or in supporting the rights of people to own and carry guns. This unique approach to the debate provides profiles of these individuals, highlighting the different reasons for each person's deep involvement in the debate and the different elements involved in the debate as a whole."--Jacket.
