The Truth About America’s Deadly EpidemicDid you know that gun violence is the #1 cause of death among America’s children and teens? Or that guns in the home are far more likely to be used in killing family members than intruders?A Powerful, Illustrated Guide to America’s Gun Crisis. In Gun Violence 101, criminologist Thomas Gabor, coauthor of American Carnage, and award-winning author and illustrator Violet Lemay expose the causes of gun violence and how America’s gun laws often do more harm than good. Featuring compelling research, original artwork, and shocking gun violence statistics, this book provides an urgent, eye-opening look at the true impact of guns in our society.Many Americans have been misled by the gun lobby’s narratives, believing that guns in the home, gun carrying, and permissive gun laws increase safety. Instead, these policies have contributed to record-breaking numbers of gun deaths, mass shootings, and fatal road rage shootings. This book not only uncovers the facts about gun violence but also presents proven solutions to prevent gun violence, offering a roadmap for change.The Essential Guide for Educators, Activists, and Policymakers. Whether you’re an educator teaching about the crisis, an activist advocating for change, or a policymaker searching for solutions, Gun Violence 101 is one of the most important books about gun violence today. With its accessible format and stunning illustrations, it joins the ranks of the best books on gun violence and is a must-read for those who want to separate gun control facts from fiction.Inside, you’ll find:Eye-opening statistics that debunk myths about gun ownership and gun control laws.The real impact of gun violence on families, communities, and public safety.Expert-backed strategies for reducing gun deaths and creating safer communities.Other startling facts about gun violence:Americans own 50 times more military-style weapons like the AR-15 today than in the 1990s.Fatal road rage shootings have more than doubled as more people carry guns.Just 6% of Americans own two-thirds of all the nation’s guns.If you’re looking for gun violence prevention books, gun control books, or books that break down the reality of mass shootings and gun violence facts; or if you liked titles such as The Violence Project, Children Under Fire, or American Carnage, then you’ll love Gun Violence 101.

Gun Mania

Gun Mania

"How can we reduce death and injury caused by guns?" is the wrong question. A much better question is "how can we reduce the overall rates of suicide and violent crime?" Gun Mania brings that question to the forefront by looking at the history of America and four other nations to identify why guns are a core element of only the American culture, and implications for reducing our rate of violent deaths. The United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand were all settled and developed, initially, by migrants from the United Kingdom. But key differences in the development circumstances led to guns becoming a core cultural element only in America. Because guns are not significant in the cultures of these other countries, they have been able to implement substantial gun control. Because guns are a core element of the American culture, the sorts of gun measures that have been accepted in the other four countries generally will not work in America. When confronted with the problem of gun deaths, many want guns to be the problem. They're easy to see. Dealing with them should be simple and fast; just pass new laws to keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them, or from everyone. However, this approach hasn't, doesn't and won't work in America. A different strategy has far more potential for saving lives.

WRITERS STOP SHOOTING YOURSELVES IN THE FOOT.I have never met a writer who does not want his or her book to be considered "a page-turner." Great. Then why make foolish mistakes with firearms and hope nobody notices? There are over 150 million gun owners in the USA. They read. And when they see something on the page that they know to be wrong, they stop reading and think about it. There goes the page-turner medal of honor.Fifty-percent of writers who use guns in their novels, movies, and TV shows have never fired a gun. Far fewer have ever owned one. Yet in almost every mystery, thriller, adventure or spy story, guns are used either as evidence after a crime or as weapons during crimes, wars, espionage, etc. Wouldn't it be nice to get it right? GUN 101 shoots down many of the stupid mistakes made by writers and movie directors and offers ways to avoid these problems.Silenced Revolvers? Impossible shots? This book will help writers avoid the stupid mistakes that shoot themselves in the foot.Bestselling author, Tony Broadbent, said of GUN 101, "I'll buy a dozen copies and give them to my writer friends. They need this book."

A hard-hitting western tale rivaling the Duttons of 1883 fame or Janet Dailey's Caulder Saga, Gun For Hire tells a story of conflict, love and hate between three families that each built their personal dynasty during the late 1880s in the wild west of Platte County, Wyoming. The third book in the Circle-D Saga follows gunslinger Cody Jarvis in his secret mission to uncover land fraud and counterfeiting in the Wyoming Territory of 1885. His chance meeting with Maggie Dunlap both saves his life and sets him on a path of an unknown future desperately trying to win her love and prove his worth. Will he succeed in his quest or will fate deal him and Maggie a bad hand? Three frontier families become intertwined as the Dunlap, Logan, and Hartman family members spread their branches among the pages of Wyoming history. Cody's adventures encompass silver miners, Pinkerton agents, and train robberies and will eventually lead him to a new romantic relationship with female Pinkerton agent, Rosalyn O'Hara, and a future that is destined to end in tragedy when he faces past threats and rivals.

Gun Control

Gun Control

Tom Frame

NewSouth Publishing

In the aftermath of the Port Arthur massacre on 28 April 1996 – when a gunman killed 35 people and seriously wounded another 21 in a quiet town in Tasmania – John Howard, a conservative prime minister who had been in office for just six weeks, moved swiftly to revolutionise Australia’s gun control laws. The National Firearms Agreement, produced just twelve days after the massacre, with support from all levels of government and across the Australian political divide, but derided by Howard’s natural political allies in the US, is now held up around the world as a model for gun control.Gun Control draws on interviews with those who supported and opposed the new laws, and asks whether the aftermath of the tragedy might have been a lost opportunity to achieve much more than simply preventing a repeat of Port Arthur – vitally important though that was. Tom Frame argues that the mechanisms for amending national firearms agreement are in need of substantial revision alongside the agreement itself. Frame analyses whether the Australian Government achieved its intention, and what it might have done in response to the massacre, and didn’t. The book also traces the history of Australian gun usage and control, and compares this with the US experience.

Gun-guwelamagapa: Gun-nerranga gun-nerranga rrawa, An-barra gun-nika describes the An-barra Archaeological Project, which investigated the archaeological sites around the mouth of the Blyth River (An-gartcha Wana – literally “Big River”) in central Arnhem Land, in the Northern Territory of Australia. This volume delves into the pre-colonial settlement patterns and subsistence strategies of the An-barra community, set against the backdrop of significant environmental changes during the mid to late Holocene.The authors provide a detailed analysis of the archaeological findings, comparing them with ethnographic evidence to uncover the history and cultural heritage of the An-barra people. The Traditional Owners, including Betty Ngurrpangurrpa and other community members, actively participated in the research, providing invaluable knowledge and insights. Their support enabled the collection of archaeological assemblages and facilitated the interpretation of findings through the lens of their cultural heritage. This volume is a companion piece to Betty Meehan's earlier work, Shell Bed to Shell Midden (1982), and extends the narrative by integrating archaeological data with ethnographic insights.Gun-guwelamagapa reveals the relationships between the An-barra community and their environment, highlighting the role of shell middens, earth mounds, and other archaeological features in understanding the past. The authors discuss the significance of these sites, the methods used in their investigation, and the broader implications for interpreting the archaeological record of northern Australia.Gun-guwelamagapa emphasises the importance of integrating ethnographic and archaeological data to provide a holistic understanding of past human behaviours. It also showcases the contributions of the An-barra community to the preservation and interpretation of their cultural heritage, offering new perspectives on the history and culture of the An-barra people.

Gun Violence and Gun Control: Critical Engagements

Gun Violence and Gun Control: Critical Engagements

Demeter Press
2022
pokkari
This interdisciplinary anthology explores a wide range of intersecting issues contributing to and arising from gun violence. Millions of people are hurt and killed by gun violence globally, and the traumatic realities of these events are navigated by individuals and communities widely. In this context, gun violence fundamentally threatens social functioning in significant ways, and profoundly test the resilience of families. The resulting transformations carry social, political, legal, and economic implications for mothering, family dynamics, and community engagement. This collaborative volume brings together diverse perspectives intended to deconstruct perceptions, realities, risks, and impacts of gun violence, as seen by researchers, educators, community advocates, public health/health care experts, criminologists, social workers, field-based practitioners, and victims/survivors of gun violence. The distinct and broad range of contributions in this volume critically unpacks representations, stress and trauma, resilience, advocacy/activism, policymaking, family functioning, social justice and equity, governmentality and the criminal justice system, public health/health care, and community programs/interventions. Ultimately, the work is a unique contribution to the literature in which there is a lack of wide academic consideration of gun violence and a demonstrably unsatisfactory political response stretching back decades.
