520 _a"When it comes to rancorous debates in which the two sides routinely talk past each other, gun control ranks up there with abortion and the death penalty. Last year [2004] Abigail A. Kohn, an anthropologist trained at the University of California at San Francisco, bravely waded into this battle with Shooters: Myths and Realities of America's Gun Cultures (Oxford University Press). A sympathetic portrait of gun enthusiasts in Northern California, the book ends with a plea for a calmer discussion of guns and crime." (REASON) In this article Kohn summarizes her position on the gun control debate and "civil liberties lawyer Don B. Kates, journalist Wendy Kaminer, and law professor Michael I. Krauss" respond to her argument.
