As a gun safety activist in the community I am well-versed in the gun violence epidemic America is experiencing due to our lax gun laws and the undue influence of the NRA.

As a result of these factors, Americans are 25X more likely to die from gun violence than citizens of any other developed nation. In addition, guns are now the 2nd leading cause of death for American children (up from 3rd) and the leading cause of death for black children. Yet, simple changes like universal background checks and strong safe storage laws aren't being enacted except in a few states.

In the U.S., a gun is stolen every 2 minutes for the purpose of committing crime, yet 45% of gun owners refuse to lock up their guns. In 2018, there were 40,000 gun deaths in the U.S., the highest number in 50 years, and 2/3 of those deaths were suicides. Suicide is on the rise and access to lethal weapons ensures that this impulsive decision will be the last decision a person in crisis makes.

I am thrilled to recommend Tom Gabor's book "Enough!", a straightforward look at guns in America. This well-written book provides facts about gun violence, potential legislative solutions (both on a federal and state level), as well as excellent recommendations for action on a personal and community level. Tom covers the waterfront and provides an insightful guide with solutions that should be implemented immediately. Read it and I'm sure you'll agree.
I recommend you buy this book--and then buy it for all of your friends. It’s that important.

“Enough!” presents an irrefutable argument why guns should be banned in the United States. It systematically tears down each and every argument made by the gun lobby. Interesting, it does offer a workable middle ground in case guns were not to be totally banned. This book is a bit choppy and leaps from one argument to another which means that the reader cannot simply keep reading and read the whole thing in one. However, I do believe that this is an important piece of gun reform and control literature.
