The Truth About Guns

Guns. Should the people of a civilized society have guns? Why, exactly, do Americans need guns? Should they have some kinds of guns but not other kinds? What is a semiautomatic pistol or rifle? How do they work? What is the difference between a gun that is semiautomatic and one that isn't? Are semiautomatic guns weapons of war? What does the second amendment say? What does it mean? Should it be repealed? What is the truth about gun violence in America? Is the media being honest with us about gun violence? Do we have gun control? Do we need more? Is the ultimate aim of gun control the elimination of all guns from society? Historically, what has happened in other societies when they allowed their guns to be registered and then confiscated? Should people be allowed to carry guns? Do we currently have adequate background checks? Are universal background checks a good idea? What are red flags laws? Can they be abused? Are they constitutional? Dr. Glenn Rogers answers all these questions and more in this easy-to-read, brief, but thorough study of guns, the second amendment, gun violence, and gun control.
