5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent guide to understanding the problems with guns.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kids and Guns (Single Title) (Library Binding)
This is the only book for kids that explains why kids use guns and why they act out violently in school. It offers real solutions that every kid can relate to and can use to solve problems in their own schools. It's also a great book for parents to buy and read with their kids as a way to open up communication. An important book to read today.

not as non-biased as it appears,

This review is from: Kids and Guns: The History, the Present, the Dangers, and the Remedies (School & Library Binding)
This book does have a lot of good information and does attempt to present both sides of the gun issue. Yet, the word 'fear' is used quite a bit in refernce to gun owners -casting a "phobic" light on them. I found this a subtle yet effective attempt to discourage responsible gun ownership or participation on shooting sports. It is clearly irresponsible for a young person to be allowed ownership of a firearm, and promoting (no matter how subtle) fear of firearms themselves does not serve our young people well. I recommend this book for the good information it does contain, and recommend parents do more research on their own and to be aware of bias on both sides of this issue.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book Showing School Gun Violence,
By
This review is from: Kids and Guns (Single Title Series) (Paperback)
I picked this book for a school persuasive speech on school shootings and gun violence. From the front flap, this book says it all. On the flap, it says a few of the school gun shootings in American history. In the first section, it shows a good overview of what started it all, the first accounts, and such. I was able to use this book for my project, because it gave TONS of information.
