Book Synopsis The Toughest Gun Control Law in the Nation by : James B. Jacobs
Download or read book The Toughest Gun Control Law in the Nation written by James B. Jacobs and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive assessment of real gun reform legislation with recommendations for better design, implementation and enforcement A month after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, New York State passed, with record speed, the first and most comprehensive state post-Sandy Hook gun control law. In The Toughest Gun Control Law in the Nation, James B. Jacobs and Zoe Fuhr ask whether the 2013 SAFE Act —hailed by Governor Andrew Cuomo as “the nation’s toughest gun control law” – has lived up to its promise. Jacobs and Fuhr illuminate the gap between gun control on the books and gun control in action. They argue that, to be effective, gun controls must be capable of implementation and enforcement. This requires realistic design, administrative and enforcement capacity and commitment and ongoing political and fiscal support. They show that while the SAFE Act was good symbolic politics, most of its provisions were not effectively implemented or, if implemented, not enforced. Gun control in a society awash with guns poses an immense regulatory challenge. The Toughest Gun Control Law in the Nation takes a tough-minded look at the technological, administrative, fiscal and local political impediments to effectively keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous persons and eliminating some types of guns altogether.
Book Synopsis I Made a Promise for Gun Safety! by : Jennifer Gazdick
Download or read book I Made a Promise for Gun Safety! written by Jennifer Gazdick and published by . This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know? June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month. A life is lost by gun violence every day in the United States, including children and adult lives. Gun violence is a prevalent topic in the news because people are using guns unsafely. Lock-downs/ Active Shooter Drills have become just as common as Fire Drills performed in all types of Preschool, Elementary, Middle, and High Schools. Check out this book I wrote, sharing my experience of how I learned about guns at my grandparents and encourage children of all ages to sign the promise like I modeled to use guns safely. The purpose of this story is to distinguish what a gun does and to challenge parents/guardians, educators, teens, and children to have extended conversations after reading this story about how to use guns safely and what to do if someone is trying to harm themselves or others. The author would like to donate a large portion of the proceeds from this book to the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation to continue their efforts protecting children and funding lifesaving programs like Starts with Hello, Say Something, and SHP Anonymous Reporting System. I know gun violence changed my life on October 31, 2018. Plus, I would never want anyone to live in fear or sadness because people used guns unsafely. I hope this story will help save a life, and there will be a day in the future that keeps everyone safe and protected from guns.
Book Synopsis Is It Still Good to Ya? by : Robert Christgau
Download or read book Is It Still Good to Ya? written by Robert Christgau and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is It Still Good to Ya? sums up the career of longtime Village Voice stalwart Robert Christgau, who for half a century has been America's most widely respected rock critic, honoring a music he argues is only more enduring because it's sometimes simple or silly. While compiling historical overviews going back to Dionysus and the gramophone along with artist analyses that range from Louis Armstrong to M.I.A., this definitive collection also explores pop's African roots, response to 9/11, and evolution from the teen music of the '50s to an art form compelled to confront mortality as its heroes pass on. A final section combines searching obituaries of David Bowie, Prince, and Leonard Cohen with awed farewells to Bob Marley and Ornette Coleman.

Book Synopsis Firearms and Violence by : National Research Council
Download or read book Firearms and Violence written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-01-13 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years proposals for gun control and the ownership of firearms have been among the most contentious issues in American politics. For public authorities to make reasonable decisions on these matters, they must take into account facts about the relationship between guns and violence as well as conflicting constitutional claims and divided public opinion. In performing these tasks, legislators need adequate data and research to judge both the effects of firearms on violence and the effects of different violence control policies. Readers of the research literature on firearms may sometimes find themselves unable to distinguish scholarship from advocacy. Given the importance of this issue, there is a pressing need for a clear and unbiased assessment of the existing portfolio of data and research. Firearms and Violence uses conventional standards of science to examine three major themes - firearms and violence, the quality of research, and the quality of data available. The book assesses the strengths and limitations of current databases, examining current research studies on firearm use and the efforts to reduce unjustified firearm use and suggests ways in which they can be improved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eddie Hopkins had many proverbs that he enjoyed sharing. The following proverb was the most important one he ever kept. When I was a teenager, he instructed me to "never, ever make a promise to someone that you can't or will not keep." Dad only made two promises to me during his entire life, and I thank you, Lord, he kept both. The first promise he made stopped him from committing suicide. The second promise he made not only stopped him from trying to take his life again but also opened the door that led him to Jesus Christ where he found deliverance, saving grace, and eternal life.

Download or read book Gunfight written by Ryan Busse and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former firearms executive pulls back the curtain on America's multibillion-dollar gun industry, exposing how it fostered extremism and racism, radicalizing the nation and bringing cultural division to a boiling point. As an avid hunter, outdoorsman, and conservationist–all things that the firearms industry was built on–Ryan Busse chased a childhood dream and built a successful career selling millions of firearms for one of America’s most popular gun companies. But blinded by the promise of massive profits, the gun industry abandoned its self-imposed decency in favor of hardline conservatism and McCarthyesque internal policing, sowing irreparable division in our politics and society. That drove Busse to do something few other gun executives have done: he's ending his 30-year career in the industry to show us how and why we got here. Gunfight is an insider’s call-out of a wild, secretive, and critically important industry. It shows us how America's gun industry shifted from prioritizing safety and ethics to one that is addicted to fear, conspiracy, intolerance, and secrecy. It recounts Busse's personal transformation and shows how authoritarianism spreads in the guise of freedom, how voicing one's conscience becomes an act of treason in a culture that demands sameness and loyalty. Gunfight offers a valuable perspective as the nation struggles to choose between armed violence or healing.
Book Synopsis A Philosophy of Gun Violence by : Alan J. Reid
Download or read book A Philosophy of Gun Violence written by Alan J. Reid and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-20 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses a philosophy of technology to demonstrate that guns are predisposed for an intentional use, making them inherently non-neutral artifacts. This argument rejects the often-cited value neutral thesis and instrumentalist view that “guns don’t kill people; people kill people”, and instead, explains the lethality of the gun through the lenses of affordance theory, behavioral design, and choice architecture. Ultimately, this book proposes an ethical and value-sensitive model for gun reform, which embodies the perspective of French philosopher Bruno Latour, who said, “You are different with a gun in your hand; the gun is different with you holding it.”
