This book does not to take sides in the American gun controversy. It presents ideas that will save some lives now lost to gunfire, without violating the Second Amendment. To accomplish this, this book seeks to foster understanding between the contending sides, and to encourage a critical examination of core beliefs that hamper a change in attitudes towards guns.
Fundamental to this book is the concept that the Second Amendment, as stated in the Supreme Court case District of Columbia v. Heller, must be respected. Love it or hate it, it is the law of the land. Much of this book is based on Heller, which pro gun and anti gun advocates will find deeply objectionable. Many advocates may hesitate to read further, yet, if these readers persist, they will encounter ideas to applaud.
If the ideas proposed result in legal change, a reset of American mentality on guns will follow, along with a decline, over time, in polarization of American gun opinion. The death rate from gunfire will fall. This decline will not be as dramatic as anti-gun advocates desire; it will be at the expense of inconvenience that some pro gun advocates will object to. The changes will cement the Heller right to keep and bear arms firmly into American law and dampen down the current bravado of pro guns advocates.
