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"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000467520 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000467520 61010 $$aUnited States.$$tConstitution.$$n2nd Amendment. 000467520 650_0 $$aFirearms$$xLaw and legislation$$zUnited States. 000467520 650_0 $$aGun control$$zUnited States. 000467520 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000467520 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWhitney, Craig R., 1943-$$tLiving with guns.$$b1st ed.$$dNew York : Public Affairs, c2012$$z9781610391696$$w(DLC) 2012028556$$w(OCoLC)778420567 000467520 8520_ $$bacq 000467520 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000467520 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1041161$$zOnline Access 000467520 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:467520$$pGLOBAL_SET 000467520 980__ $$aEBOOK 000467520 980__ $$aBIB 000467520 982__ $$aEbook 000467520 983__ $$aOnline
