  • Gun Control and the NRA

    Joellen McCarty

    Library Binding (Greenhaven Publishing, Dec. 15, 2019)

However, the same survey found that 42 percent of Americans live in gun-owning households, indicating that gun ownership is deeply embedded in American life. How can the right to gun ownership and the necessity of reducing gun violence be reconciled? Is the NRA a necessary protector of civil liberties, or does it stand in the way of effective legislation?

  • Legalization of Marijuana

    M. M. Eboch

    Paperback (Greenhaven Publishing, Dec. 15, 2019)
    As of 2018, thirty-three states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana in some form, either broadly allowing its recreational use or limiting it to medical applications. However, the conditions under which marijuana should be legalized, if at all, are hotly debated. Some assert that it should only be allowed for medicinal purposes, while others argue that attempting to prohibit it is futile and that it would be better to legalize it, which would enable the regulation and taxation of it. Concerns about marijuana's availability to minors and its relationship to crime and addiction are explored in this volume.
