Book overview

Curious about the Second Amendment and its evolving meaning over the past two centuries? Looking for straight facts? Your journey begins here.

 

Once dismissed as the "lost" Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Second Amendment now stands center stage in one of America's most divisive issues, an increasing rate of firearms-related deaths. Claiming more than 45,000 lives annually, firearms-related deaths are now the leading cause of death for children and adolescents. Rural America suffers most when more than 50% of firearms deaths annually are suicides. And in urban areas, where more than 80% of our population lives, firearms homicides persist.

 

Easy-to-read and politics free, this book is packed with facts to clear away confusion and mountains of misinformation. Curious beginners and seasoned experts will find details to help everyone calmly discuss the history behind the Second Amendment, U.S. Supreme Court's decisions, and so many other firearms-related issues, including red flag laws, background checks, semi-automatic weapons, AR-15s, ghost guns, firearms training, mental health matters, and the role domestic violence plays.

 

Join the army of those ready to take back our safety and solve one of the most divisive issues facing our nation today. Solutions don't come from silence. This book is packed with information about dozens of practical solutions under discussion to stop the killing. Empower yourself to play a role in reducing gun violence.

 

Learn the facts. Read about practical solutions. End the violence.
