Tom Diaz’s The Last Gun was first published in hardcover shortly after the tragic Newtown massacre. Major media outlets, including the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Democracy Now, NPR, and CNBC, rushed to contact Diaz, the widely respected gun control advocate, for his views on what Americans could do to bring an end to this epidemic of gun violence. As he told them, America is by far the most armed nation in the world, and it has the deaths to show for it: by some estimates, over 30,000 in 2013 alone. In this readable and topical” (Bloomberg Businessweek) book, the former gun enthusiast and ex-member of the National Rifle Association lays out a lucid, incisive account of how we got here and what we can do to prevent future massacres.
Marshaling a range of stunning evidence and case studies, The Last Gun is essential reading for understanding how we can finally rid America’s streets, schools, and homes of gun violence—and with effective gun control measures stalled in Congress, it remains as timely as ever.
