In the past decade, no individual act of violence has killed more people in the United States than the mass shooting. This well-researched, forcefully argued book answers some of the most pressing questions facing our society: Why do people go on killing sprees? Are gun-free zones magnets for deadly rampages? What can we do to curb the carnage of this disturbing form of firearm violence?

Contrary to conventional wisdom, the author shows that gun possession often prods aggrieved, mentally unstable individuals to go on shooting sprees, these attacks largely occur in places where guns are not prohibited by law, and sensible gun-control measures like the federal Assault Weapons Ban - which helped drastically reduce rampage violence when it was in effect - are instrumental to keeping Americans safe from mass shootings in the future.

To stem gun massacres, the author proposes several original policy prescriptions, ranging from the enactment of sensible firearm safety reforms to an overhaul of how the justice system investigates potential active-shooter threats and prosecutes violent crimes. Calling attention to the growing problem of mass shootings, Rampage Nation demonstrates that this unique form of gun violence is more than just a criminal justice offense or public health scourge. It is a threat to American security.

A Worthy Objective

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018

I chose this book after watching Susan Orfanos' statement following her son's murder at the Thousand Oaks nightclub, the same son who survived the shooting rampage in Las Vegas. I cannot forget her words and profound loss. Securing America from Mass Shootings is indeed a worthy objective, achieving the objective will require objectivity from highly emotional parties on both sides of the issue to develop workable solutions.

A sobering, exhaustive study of gun violence in the US

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2020

I've had this book on my shelf for a while. I've been meaning to read it, and I'm glad I did. Dr. Klarevas offers a sobering, exhaustive look at gun violence in America. He explores why it has proven to be an issue that our politicians are unable to solve, discussing the constitutional issues in theory and in practice. He also shares his personal experience as a gun violence survivor. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who is curious and worried about the issue of gun violence in the United States. May Dr. Klarevas' work be a catalyst to us to work together to solve this societal problem.

Regardless of your political affiliation or preconceived notions about guns, this book is a MUST read! Through the extensive use of facts and analysis critical of “research” used by both sides of the aisle, this book gave me an excellent understanding of the issue of guns with specific context for solutions to mass shootings that are grounded firmly in precedent and empirical analysis.

Upon finishing this book, you will have an in-depth understanding of the typical perpetrator, the role of mental illness, why shooters choose their locations, and how, yes, guns kill but some more than others. Most importantly, you will be introduced to solutions that may challenge any notions you had in mind before the book.

During this process, you will also learn about who key voices in the gun debate are and why you may or may not want to consider them credible, if or how more guns = more safety, research behind gun-free zones, and how studies can and do cherry-pick when and how they define a mass-shooting to support a predetermined outcome.

My greatest hesitation in reading this book was a fear of sensationalized or painful delves into the horrific moments of the actual crimes. I’m so glad I did not let that unfounded fear keep me from reading this book. Yes, you do read about several mass shootings, but it is handled respectfully in such a way so as to provide you with enough information to give you a constructive understanding so as to prevent future recurrences.

If everyone weighing in on the gun debate read this book before they opened their mouth, I’m confident we would be capable of a much more constructive, much less decisive dialogue.

“Rampage Nation: Securing America from Mass Shootings” by Louis Klarevas is one of the best accounts I have read on mass shootings. Klarevas introduces his reader to "The Trinity of Violence" which framework consists of three components: the perpetrators, the targets, and the weapons. How do we break the trinity? This is one of the central themes of the book and the author does an excellent job outlining effective approaches of breaking “the trinity”. “Rampage Nation: Securing America from Mass Shootings” is an extensively researched book that comprises of a unique data set model, staggering statistics, and detailed examples of mass shootings. I highly recommend it!
