Enough! Solving America's Gun Violence Crisis - Book on Gun Control & Public Safety Reform | Essential Reading for Activists, Policymakers & Concerned Citizens

Dr. Tom Gabor is a retired criminologist with over 30-years of experience investigating gun violence in the United States. His latest book, “ENOUGH! Solving America’s Gun Violence Crisis”, is a prescription of logical, common-sense gun policies that, if adopted, would significantly reduce the public menace of gun violence in the United States. All policy prescriptions described in the book aim toward a single purpose: reducing the nearly 40,000 deaths due to gunfire every year in the United States.The book is organized into sections that focus on policies related the 2nd Amendment provision to ‘regulate the militia’: 1) regulating gun ownership, 2) regulating guns, 3) regulating the gun industry, 4) regulating (changing) America’s gun culture, 5) motivating citizens to regulate themselves, and 5) case studies of regulatory policies that are working across the nation to reduce gun violence, ‘…promote the general welfare…’ and ‘…secure the blessings of Liberty…’ for all.The book includes concise yet detailed information on policies that have been goals of the national gun violence prevention movement for decades and which dominant majorities of Americans support (comprehensive background checks for gun purchases, waiting periods on approved gun transactions, laws requiring proper gun storage). There are proposals to implement more recent efforts limiting lethality of guns in public hands that the majority of Americans support (assault rifle bans, restricted magazine capacity), and a host of newer proposals (national gun registry, national gun buy-backs, extreme risk protection orders, also known as ERPO, or ‘Red Flag laws’) in the current public discourse. Finally, there are some novel proposals such as a declaration of the ‘rights of the rest of us’ to be protected from gun violence.This book is a comprehensive overview written for a general audience interested in advancing a society that would be more safe and secure from gun violence. It implores responsible gun owners, their allies, and all of us to adopt responsible public policies to stanch the gun-bloodshed in America. Dr. Gabor shows us the way to a safer nation if, respecting our democracy’s traditions, we are willing to advocate for it and press our elected representatives at all levels toward that end. Indeed, the book concludes with the single most effective method to adopt the reasonable policies it describes: VOTE! Vote for candidates who will respect and act on the desires of the huge majority of Americans who have simply had ENOUGH! of everyday gun violence nationwide.If you feel the gun violence epidemic gripping our nation is hopeless and irreversible, read this book. It provides a detailed map of a way out of the gun violence wilderness and hope for reasonable solutions that reasonable people can achieve.
