Mass shootings are a persistent and devastating part of American culture, taking lives and eroding our sense of safety. Most Americans want action, yet political leaders remain stalled. Gunocracy: Confronting America's Mass Shooting Problem (New York: Flatpage Publishing, 2025) breaks down the issue and offers practical, achievable steps to mitigate harm. This book is for all Americans—across parties and viewpoints—who want to reduce mass shootings. It offers a blueprint for gun owners and non-gun owners alike to unite around reasonable measures to keep us safe. Gunocracy shows how we can live with firearms while also building a safer America.
