Gunstories: Life-changing Experiences with Guns Reprint edition

Guns are a fact of life for young people growing up in the United States. They are found in homes?for protection, sport, and hunting. Guns are also on the street?for defense and security, and in gang-related uses. Guns can cause accidents, and even deaths, while they can also nurture self-esteem and athletic abilities. The impact of guns on young people's lives is undebatable?and often dramatic.

S. Beth Atkin's evocative photographs and candid interviews share the remarkable stories?told in their own voices?of an array of young people's life-changing experiences with guns.
