Tom Diaz is a former gun enthusiast and an ex-member of the
National Rifle Association whose first book, Making a
Killing, is widely considered to be the most influential
antigun book ever written. Its publication helped to spark a
national media campaign around the machinations of the gun
industry and the wave of gun violence it
spawned.
Picking up where Making a Killing
left off, The Last Gun looks at how the gun industry
has changed dramatically in the intervening decade, how the
nature of gun violence has changed in step with industry
trends, and why the time is ripe for a new political effort
to attack gun violence at its source: the guns
themselves.
In The Last Gun, Diaz offers a
chilling, up-to-date survey of the changed landscape of gun
manufacturing and marketing, including the disturbing trend
toward military-grade, high-powered gun models and the
latest statistics on how these more powerful guns have
enabled new levels of gun violence to crest. The Last
Gun shows how the once-impregnable gun lobby has become
a “paper tiger,” reviewing recent legislative and judicial
developments, as well as important local case studies, to
show that now is the time for a renewed effort to bring a
fundamentally corrupt and dangerous industry to heel.
