Gun Control in Context: Learning from the Australian Gun Control Experience (Fay Suzanna)(Paperback)

This book approaches the gun control debate by asking what it takes to achieve acceptance of, and compliance with, gun control regulations in a community thought to be opposed and resistant.It does this by centering this question on the experience of gun dealers who occupy a dual role in the compliance process - subject to its regulations, yet central to the application of all regulatory processes. The findings are surprising in that they demonstrate more support for gun control than opposition amongst this group, more willingness to cooperate with authorities than resistance, and more possibility for setting the tone for support with the wider gun owning community. This book considers how policy makers in the US can capitalize on these overtones of collaboration and concern for public safety and learn from the successes and mistakes of the Australian gun control
