I’m less than halfway through this book and I’m not sure I want to finish. It’s pretty clear Strasser believes guns are to blame for school violence. Sure, he pays lip service to the idea that perhaps kids who shoot up the school are victims of relentless bullying, but essentially, I get the impression that it would all be okay if there were just no guns. Banning guns won’t address the real problems behind school violence, and guns are an easy scapegoat that allow people to ignore the real problems in some high school environments. I say this as someone who does not like guns. I’m not happy with this book and I’m very disappointed in Strasser.
