      abstract = {"America's war over gun control has raged since the 1960s.  In 2008, the Supreme Court startled the left by concluding  that with the Second Amendment the founders elevated "above  all other interests" the right to bear arms "in defense of  hearth and home." Liberals feared the NRA would succeed in  rolling back regulations nationwide. Discussion about guns  in America has been stalemated, shortcircuited, and  dominated by rigidly and mutually intolerant ideologies.  Yet we may be closer to a solution than either side may  imagine. In Living With Guns, veteran New York Times editor  Craig Whitney carefully reexamines America's relationship  with guns, showing how guns are an important part of  American culture. The earliest colonists needed them to  survive. We have nearly 300 million of them today. Trying  to restrict gun ownership doesn't effectively deter  crime--we need to get serious about what actually works.  Whitney shows that, if we focus on controlling violence  rather than guns themselves, the Second Amendment may not  be so lethal as the left would like to think"--},
