Fail: The Collapse of Reason in Gun Control

By Everett Drake

Fail: The Collapse of Reason in Gun Control is a look at the evidence available concerning guns and crime. Every attempt is made to present evidence in a straightforward, unbiased manner so that the actual relationship between gun ownership and crime can be explored.Readers are introduced to statistics from the United States, Europe, and Asia concerning how gun ownership influence crime rates in the first several chapters. After that, major studies dealing with guns and crime are analyzed for the quality of their data and bias on the parts of authors or sponsors of the study. Chapter seven deals with the phenomenon of mass shootings. Topics cover whether mass shootings are increasing in prevalence, why they occur, and how mental illness is involved. Special attention is given to whether stricter gun control can reduce mass murder events or whether it will only change the means by which they are carried out.The book wraps up with a look at factors that are strongly associated with crime and offers some practical solutions for obtaining real results. The answers to the crime and gun control debate just might surprise you.
