Relative to other advanced countries, the U.S. has a dismal gun violence record. Gun law reforms could reduce the number of gun deaths, but many political challenges stand in the way. A widespread multi-year misinformation assault on truth by the gun lobby and gun-extremists sows doubt about the dangers of pervasive gun ownership, gun carrying, and potential effectiveness of gun laws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDebunking popular gun myths. \u003c\/b\u003eCountering with strong evidence-based research the many slogans and myths repeated incessantly by spokespersons for the gun lobby and its surrogates is essential if we are to have a society where kids can attend school safely and people can work and enjoy life without fear of being shot. Over the last 30 years, the NRA's campaign to achieve an armed society has succeeded in persuading many Americans that having a gun in the home or carrying a gun makes them safer. The evidence is overwhelming this is not the case. Guns in the home are far more likely to be used against a family member or in a suicide attempt than against an intruder. Tackling this and other myths is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMyths and slogans exposed as false in \u003cem\u003eAmerican Carnage\u003c\/em\u003e include: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGun owners frequently use firearms to fend off attackers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn armed society is a safer society\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuns don't kill people, people kill people\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIf you have read \u003cem\u003eTrigger Points\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Violence Project\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWarning Signs\u003c\/em\u003e, or Fred Guttenberg's \u003cem\u003eFind the Helpers\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAmerican Carnage\u003c\/em\u003e is a must read.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 228\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 02, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760927703328,"sku":"9781684812059","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/2b474262c57ccf31d17349e33bc2cf7c.webp?v=1780194448","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/american-carnage-shattering-the-myths-that-fuel-gun-violence-school-safety-violence-in-society-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
