Echoes of Fire

About this book

Echoes of Fire: Navigating the Complex Terrain of Guns and Violence brings decades of empirical research to bear on one of the most polarized policy debates in American life. Lisa Stolzenberg and Stewart J. D'Alessio cut through slogans and anecdote to examine what the evidence actually shows about firearm access, homicide, suicide, defensive use, and the effects of specific legal interventions. The book treats the reader as a serious participant in the debate, presenting findings without partisanship and highlighting where the data are strong, where they are contested, and where honest uncertainty remains.
