Book Description
In recent years, political discourse about gun control and the Second
Amendment has become increasingly volatile and this collection of original
essays by top scholars illuminates the various reasons why. Gun lobbies
such as the National Rifle Association are more organized and aggressive
and their issue agenda has evolved as new and more powerful weapons
and militia appear. On the other side of the debate, the critical wounding
of James Brady gave gun control advocates a visible martyr with strong
ties to Republican conservatives. In sum, gun control and the right
to bear arms have become hotly disputed issues where political alignments
are constantly shifting. The contributors chart these changes and explore
how Congress, the courts, the President, and individual states are currently
addressing the issue of gun control. This book, which includes profiles
and examinations of relevant interest groups, the gun control coalition,
recent Supreme Court decisions, and public opinion surveys, will be
of great interest to classes in political science, American government,
law, and sociology.
