ABSTRACT
The gun control battle is, above all, a struggle over public policy. As the many elements and cases of the gun issue analyzed in this book reveal, the gun policy struggle is one in which elephantine political forces battle over policy mice. This conclusion is surely no surprise to anyone with a passing acquaintance with the gun issue. At the same time, only a full understanding of the policy issue’s scope and its political consequences can hope to yield any sort of policy synthesis.
