I saw Bill Moyers interview the author of Gunfighter Nation.
It's a interesting premise & the author has a few valid points IMO but some of his political views are flawed re; crime/urban development.

I don't think it's fair or prudent to constantly blame gun owners or concealed license holders as being a "threat" to gun violence.
The real threat is the street criminals, gang members, drug dealers etc who use guns illegally. They go in & out of the US court systems and do not care about gun licenses, laws, etc.
