520 _a and * Every 120 seconds a person is shot. Clearly, it's time for change! This book provides life-saving information for parents, educators, business owners, the police, and government officials. This easy to read, common sense guide is written by James M. Murray -- a concerned father, a teacher, and an experienced activist against gun violence. He lives in Boston, where "activism" first began with the Tea Party, and where shootings have now become epidemic. His book lists 50 effective ways to stop gun violence, offering a catalyst for social and political change. In America 200,000 people are shot each year. Murray has taken positive action as founder and leader of CEASEFIRE-Boston, a dedicated group of friends and neighbors who worked together to ban handguns in their city. He led a referendum drive in Boston in 1992, forcing political leaders to offer more than rhetoric as their city experienced the most violent years in the history of the public school system. He is also co-founder of CEASEFIRE-USA, in cooperation with his publisher, Robert D. Reed. Grassroots organizations across the U.S. are working together to stop crime and violence in our streets, schools, homes, and workplaces. This powerful and inspiring book will help to motivate more people to get involved. 50 Things You Can Do About Guns is written for the non-gunowner, as well as for the gunowner -- anyone who is fed up with daily death tolls from gun violence in our streets, homes, schools, and workplaces. Readers will learn how to help save lives and make their communities safe again. Many Americans are concerned about gun violence these days. But what can we do about it? Most people feel overwhelmed and vulnerable by the growing epidemic of gun violence in their communities. Now with the help of 50 Things You Can Do About Guns, people can learn to make their communities safer for themselves and their children."www.rdrpublishers.com"
