Description: In The Politics of Gun Control, Robert J. Spitzer confronts one of the most divisive controversies on today's political agenda: should gun possession and use be significantly regulated by the government? Recognizing that "at its heart, the gun debate is a question about the relationship between the citizen, the state's power to regulate, and the maintenance of public order," Spitzer approaches the issue as a dramatic case study in the proper scope and consequences of social regulatory policy.
