{"product_id":"lethal-passage-the-story-of-a-gun-1","title":"Lethal Passage: The Story of a Gun","description":"This devastating book illuminates America's gun culture -- its manufacturers, dealers, buffs, and propagandists -- but also offers concrete solutions to our national epidemic of death by firearm.\n\n\"Touches on all aspects of the gun issue in this country. Gives great voice to that feeling...that something real must be done.\" --San Diego Union-Tribune\n\n\"One of the most readable anti-gun treatises in years.\" --Washington Post Book World\n\nIt begins with an account of a crime that is by now almost commonplace: on December 16, 1988, sixteen-year-old Nicholas Elliot walked into his Virginia high school with a Cobray M-11\/9 and several hundred rounds of ammunition tucked in his backpack. By day's end, he had killed one teacher and severely wounded another.\n\nIn Lethal Passage Erik Larson shows us how a disturbed teenager was able to buy a weapon advertised as \"the gun that made the eighties roar.\" The result is a book that can -- and should -- save lives, and that has already become an essential text in the gun-control debate.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679759271\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0679759271.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Larson, Erik\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
