This work offers wide-ranging coverage of the American gun culture, the history and meaning of Second Amendment, the criminological consequences of guns, the policy-making roles of Congress, the presidency, the bureaucracy, interest groups, public opinion and the political parties. New to this third edition of "The Politics of Gun Control" is coverage of the proliferation of concealed-carry laws in cities and counties. The book covers the debate and data on the effect of these laws on crime rates, homicide rates, gun-related violence and accidental deaths. Also included is coverage of guns and school violence, including the shooting at Columbine High (1999) and other schools around the country in 1997-98; the congressional response in the aftermath of these episodes; and the Senate's passing of a historic juvenile justice bill requiring background checks for gun show purchases, tougher penalties for sale to juveniles or to felons, mandatory gun locks on new handguns, and a ban on import of high-capacity ammunition clips.
