"Guns Don't Kill People, People Kill People": And Other Myths About Guns and Gun Control (Myths Made in America)

Debunking the lethal logic behind the pervasive myths that have framed the gun control debate

The gun lobbyâ€™s remarkable success in using engaging slogans to frame the gun control debate has allowed it to block lifesaving gun legislation for decades. But is there any truth to this bumper-sticker logic? Dennis Henigan exposes the mythology and misguided thinking at the core of these pro-gun catchphrases, which continue to have an outsized influence on public attitudes toward guns and gun control. He counters the gun lobbyâ€™s messages by weaving together the most compelling current research and insights drawn from the grim reality of deadly gunfire in our homes and communities. Henigan charts a new path toward ending the American nightmare of gun violence.
