TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - The gold standard of gun control - book review of Joyce Malcolm, Guns and Violence: The English Experience JO - Journal of law, economics and policy A1 - Gallant, Paul A1 - Eisen, Joanne D. A1 - Kopel, David B. SP - 417 EP - 417 VL - 2 IS - 2 N2 - Guns and Violence tells a remarkable story of a society's self-destruction, of how a government in a few decades managed to reverse six hundred years of social progress in violence reduction. The book is also a testament to the amazing self-confidence of British governments; Labour and Conservative alike have proceeded with an extreme anti-self-defense agenda, although the agenda has never had much supporting evidence beyond the government's own platitudes.
