<em>Targeting Guns</em> is an updated and revised version of <em>Point Blank: Guns and Violence in America</em> (Aldine de Gruyter, 1991), which established Gary Kleck as the foremost sociologist doing research on gun control and as a favorite of the American Rifle Association. <em>Targeting Guns</em> will maintain Kleck's esteemed position in the academic world; however, it will take him down at least a notch or two in the eyes of the ARA and others ardently opposed to gun control--because even though he systematically rebuts most of the research touted by gun-control advocates, he eventually does make a case for some limited forms of gun control. </p> --Gregg Lee Carter, <em>Social Forces</em></p>
