Arm Yourself with the Facts: How to Talk About Guns in America Firearms-related incidents kill more than 45,000 people in the US every year and are the leading cause of death for US children and adolescents. But talking about guns doesn't have to be scary or divisive. With this easy-to-read and politics-free guide, you can arm yourself with the facts and strategies to calmly discuss firearms laws, firearms ownership, court decisions, and the Founding Fathers' thinking behind the Second Amendment. Whether you're a novice or a gun expert, this book offers valuable insights into red flag laws, background checks, semi-automatic weapons, AR-15s, video games, ghost guns, firearms training requirements, state laws, US Supreme Court decisions, and the role guns play in domestic violence and mental health matters.

But you don't have to feel helpless or hopeless. Join the army of those ready to take back our safety and solve one of the most divisive issues facing our nation today. Gain the confidence to discuss practical solutions to stop the killing. Solutions don't come from silence. This book is packed with information about dozens of solutions under consideration.

"""A thoughtful and long overdue approach to one of our nation's most vexing challenges-a common sense conversation about guns."" -Michael P. Kortan, former FBI Assistant Director for Public Affairs. ""Schweit brings together the information and historical context needed to understand the debate on guns in America from a 360° view but does so with objectivity and balance. This is not one of the many books that will tell you what to think about guns in America, but instead it will tell you how to think about guns in America, essential at a time when we all need a better understanding."" -John Miller, former New York Police Department, Deputy Commissioner."
