Description: "Littleton, Colorado; Paducah, Kentucky; Pearl, Mississippi - these are names of places that have become synonymous with violence in our schools and have led recently to an increased national interest in the Second Amendment, which grants the right to bear arms. Should this right be limited and, if so, how? Can gun owners be trusted to responsibly handle and secure their guns? What restrictions, if any, should be made? Where is the line between caution and trust?

These are some of the questions gun control advocates and gun rights groups continue to argue over. Opinions on gun control have become so heated and diverse that it has become one of the top campaign issues across the United States. In Gun Control, author Harry Henderson explores all sides of this highly contested issue and offers a complete examination of sources for further research."--BOOK JACKET.
