Slight highjack, but a great resource to draw from for anyone who wants to counter anti-gun sentiment.
I just got done reading this book. Highly recommend it. Basically outlines how the war on drugs is a failure and increases crime, gun control does not prevent or lessen gun violence, and taking guns away from law abiding citizens doesn't stop criminals from getting guns among other criminology issues. It is so expensive because it is a text book used in many university criminology courses. It basically shows how the people that do the research, including LEOs via various legislation or documented police anti-crime studies, and criminology researchers are ignored by those who write the policies. So basically what we here already knew. Good source for a ton of empirical evidence and studies for why gun control doesn't work.
