It happened in Parkland." ―Fred Guttenberg #1 New Release in School Safety Fred Guttenberg, who lost his beloved daughter Jaime in the 2018 Parkland school shooting, and International gun policy consultant Thomas Gabor team up in American Carnage to dismantle some of the most common myths about guns and gun violence. A national disgrace. Over 40,000 die each year as a result of gun violence in America. Relative to other advanced countries, the U.S. has a dismal gun violence record. Gun law reforms could reduce the number of gun deaths per year, but many political challenges stand in the way. A widespread multi-year misinformation campaign and assault on truth by the gun lobby and gun-extremists sows doubt about the dangers posed by pervasive gun ownership and gun carrying, as well as the potential effectiveness of gun laws. Debunking popular gun myths. Countering with strong evidence-based research the many slogans and myths repeated incessantly by spokespersons for the gun lobby and its surrogates is essential if we are to have a society in which kids can attend school safely and people can work and enjoy life without fear of being shot. Over the last 30 years, the NRA’s campaign to achieve an armed society has succeeded in persuading many Americans that having a gun in the home or carrying a gun makes them safer. The evidence is overwhelming this is not the case. Guns in the home are far more likely to be used against a family member or in a suicide attempt than against an intruder. Tackling this and other myths is critical. Myths and slogans exposed as false in American Carnage include:Gun owners frequently use firearms to fend off attackersAn armed society is a safer societyGuns don’t kill people, people kill people If you have read Trigger Points, The Violence Project, Warning Signs, or Fred Guttenberg’s Find the Helpers, American Carnage is a must read.Author: Fred Guttenberg, Thomas GaborContributor: Steve Kerr (Foreword by)Country/Region of Manufacture: USEAN: 9781684812059Format: PaperbackGenre: Society & CultureISBN: 9781684812059ISBN-10: 1684812054Item Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 13mmLanguage: EnglishPublisher: Yellow Pear PressRelease Date: 06/02/2023Subtitle: Shattering the Myths That Fuel Gun ViolenceTopic: Social Sciences, Children's Learning & EducationRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
