REVIEWS

Students who are assigned to debate gun control will find this resource a first stop in gathering preliminary information. The author has made an effort to show both sides of the controversy rather than taking one position and building that case. Here are the state and federal laws and the players, both in favor of gun control and those who fight against it. The listing of organizations includes 34 pages of pro-gun control organizations and 25 pages of pro-gun rights groups. References at the ends of chapters and those cited in the selected list of resources will help students begin their searches before they turn to the Internet. The fact that his presents both sides of the issue in one volume will make it a much sought-after resource.
