Criminologist Tom Gabor and award-winning illustrator Violet Lemay team up to produce a unique, illustrated book on gun violence. Using original graphics and artwork, the book explains why Americans are at such high risk of gun violence and how gun laws often endanger rather than protect us. The authors present solutions that have been shown to make people and communities safer.
The book reveals shocking facts about US gun violence, including:
1) Guns are the #1 cause of death among US children;
2) Guns in the home kill more family members than intruders;
3) Americans today own 50 times more AR-15 assault rifles than in the 1990s; and,
4) Gun laws in US history, including the Old West, were often stricter than they are today.
