Summary: A must read for anyone interested - regardless of stance.
Comment: An absolute must read for anyone interested in this topic, regardless of position on firearms.

The world is full of myths and misquoted information. All too often you hear made up statistics over this issue - on both sides. This book takes a scholarly look at the issue using open information and sources that can be verified and indepently analyzed to verify the results - something usually sorely missing from all discussions on this topic. This does however make it a pretty dry read - if you are looking for the grandstanding theatrics usually associated with both sides of gun control, look elsewhere.

If you are for the free ownership of firearms, it provides you with solid information and statistics to back your position. If you are against firearms ownership, and have a rational and reasoning mind, this book will give you some great food for thought, if you don't throw it away and you actually do read it. I have suggested and given this book to a few people with strong feelings about this topic, and they usually just ignore this book's information, as it is so much easier to just blindly charge on with nothing more than emotionally based sound bites as a substitute for reason and thought.

Rating: 5
Summary: A MUST read for any Legislator
Comment: This book backs what common sense would expect. If people take the responsibility for their own protection, we will all be better off [safer]. To some that makes perfect sense, to others it takes this proof. There will be those who will find fault in the conclusion, not because it is not true, but because they don't LIKE that conclusion.

I Loved the book and recommend it to anyone considering work as a legislator!

Rating: 5
Summary: Shock and Awe
Comment: This is a book that sends gun control advocates packing. Some of the statistical jargon is, I admit, over my head. But the conclusions are easy-to-read. The questions deserved to be asked, and Lott & Mustard bring shock and awe with their answers.
