Because They're Assholes: Violence and Gun Violence

In his third book on Guns in America, Mike Weisser deals with the connection between violence and guns. Questions that Mike asks and answers include:

* Is America a more violent country than others?
* What are the real factors influencing the rise and fall of American violence?
* Do guns make us more violent?
* Do we know how to identify and treat violent individuals?

Drawing on a wide range of published studies and his unique understanding of American gun culture, Mike addresses issues usually ignored by other authors with his usual mix of no-nonsense facts, acerbic humor, and profound insight.
