Review Quotes: I know of few other thinkers who so consistently diagnose what ails America. This is the clarion call to everyone who professes concern about the state of guns in this country. If we stand a chance in hell of fighting back and remaking American in the image of gun safety, we need this book now!--Michael Eric Dyson, New York Times best-selling author of Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America
