NEW YORK, March 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Even before victims from one mass shooting can be properly mourned and buried, another has just occurred … and another and another. When will this insanity stop?
America's obsession with guns is venturing into the realm of lunacy, states "Our Gun Idolatry" author Edward L. Alban. Guns in this country are cheap and easy to obtain, are lawfully protected, and are rarely blamed when tragedy strikes. Gun advocates cite rationalizations for gun rights based on imprecise wording in the 200-year-old Second Amendment to the Constitution, while shooting deaths continue to climb.
Even as schools, offices, theaters, and malls are being riddled with bullets, and family and friends of the victims express outrage, the killing continues. The book demonstrates ways in which guns can keep a place in society, but one built on a foundation of safety and accountability.
About the Author: Edward Alban was born in Ecuador but has lived in the United States and has been immersed in its culture for more than 60 years. He is a retired professor of economics with a body of published work, including a novel, a collection of short stories, and contributions to numerous literary journals.
