Description

The real story behind the steady rise in gun violence in America is the systematic increase in lethality by manufacturers. The gun industry has sought to reverse declining profits by increasing killing power, rolling out new and more dangerous products, and therefore contributing to a public health and safety disaster of epidemic proportions. Exposes the little-known business side of this $1.4 billion industry, revealing its inner workings. The gun industry has designed and distributed guns with more ammunition and greater concealability, aggressively sought to build a wider market by collaborating with the “gun press,” targeted women and minorities as new consumers, and shielded itself from the most basic health-and-safety reg’s. Outlines a series of practical reg’s.
