Since its initial publication, this book has emerged as a seminal work on every crucial aspect of the contentious national gun debate in America. This revised edition brings together the most recent advancements and research in gun politics, policy, law, history, and criminology, offering a comprehensive and accessible resource that is widely utilized by scholars, journalists, and educators. In this era of polarized politics, this book provides a distinctive perspective on how and why this polarization shapes our political landscape. Among the new topics covered in this edition are the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the expansion of Supreme Court protections for concealed carry permits, and the profound impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on gun violence and policy.
New to the Ninth Edition:
• Examines the current state of gun control legislation at both state and federal levels, particularly the factors that led to the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act in 2022.
• Introduces the new constitutional standards for gun control legislation established by the controversial, pro-Second Amendment Supreme Court ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022).
• Offers expanded and updated analysis on related issues, including the rise of gun carry movements on college campuses, efforts to regulate ghost guns, bump stocks, and high-capacity magazines, .50 caliber sniper rifles, and the profound impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the January 6 Capitol Attack, and the Black Lives Matter movement on contemporary gun control debates.
• Tracks the financial, political, and legal crises that threaten the dominance of the National Rifle Association and examines the rise of new gun rights groups, such as the National Association for Gun Rights.
• Presents new and updated statistical research on gun ownership in America.
In conclusion, this Ninth Edition of Guns in America is a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics of the gun debate in the United States. With its comprehensive coverage of the latest developments, research, and historical context, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible guide to the most pressing issues surrounding guns in our society. Whether you are a scholar, journalist, educator, or simply interested in understanding the complexities of this issue, this book is an indispensable tool for navigating the ever-evolving landscape of gun politics and policy.
