Howell, Embry M. (04 June 2016)."The Hospital Costs of Firearm Assaults." Urban Institute. N.P., Web.

                This was a research report written by both Howell and Embry. The research conducted showed a renewed national attention in rise of the consequences that come a long with gun violence in the United States. The study also comes up with conclusive report of the cost that has been incurred in the emergence department visits as well as inpatient hospital stays in the country. Gun violence in the U.S has greatly contributed to high hospital bills and injuries in the country. Some of the injuries are permanent and will leave to be seen among ourselves.

The report gives an evidence how in the year 2010 a group of young men who were low income learners had to pay high hospital bills in the hospital after being victims of a mass shooting. The report describes the hospital bills incurred as an equivalent of the Medicaid Program cost of one state.

The authors go further to give recommendation to the state government and what need to be done to stop the gun violence before it runs out of hand.one of the most recommended solutions proposed is to prevent firearm assaults in order to reduce the costs incurred by citizens in the hospitals. This will also help to protect the lives of the citizens.

This book evaluates the effectiveness of the implemented gun control laws in the United States. This has been effective too in the municipalities. The author uses a variety of models including the multiple linear regression models to show the relationship that exists between the gun related deaths and state laws which govern the use of firearms.

The book study also shows that gun control laws have a great effect on the number of the gun related casualties. The author relates also firearm related deaths to social economic variables, for example the unemployment rate, the poverty level and alcohol consumption in the state.

The gun control laws, however, have been able to compact crime activities in the country. The findings realized in the book proof that the more resources spend on social programs related to the Crime Bill have greatly affected the crime incidences in the country. The findings indicate that the gun control rules have greatly helped to reduce the effects of reckless use of guns in the country.

Metzl, Jonathan M., and Kenneth T. MacLeish. (Feb. 2015.)"Mental Illness, Mass Shootings, and the Politics of American Firearms." American Journal of Public Health. American Public Health Association,

                This journal shows the link between mass shooting and mental illness. It is based on assumptions that frequently arise in the aftermath of mass shooting in the U.S. the assumptions include; that mental illness is a factor that contributes to mass shooting in the U.S, that mental illness contributes to gun violence, that shooting represents the acts of the mentally ill and that psychiatric examination can predict gun crime.

The journal shows that mental illness emerges to be closely related to mass shooting incidences in the U.S and that the same reflects the cultural stereotypes and the anxieties for example, the social class and politics. All these issues discussed mental illness is connected to mass shooting and that they are a violent threat to the society. The political disclosure focusses on the impact of the mentally ill and the aftermath of mass shooting incidences. The journal further takes us to key literatures in the field of psychology and public health. Which address the connection between mental illness and gun violence.

Nancy Scheper H. No Magic bullets: Deadly Lessons from the Sandy Hook Little Tyke Massacre.

                                The author of the article starts by describing how his plans to deliver a lecture entitled “violence in war and peace in one of the public universities in the U.S went futile. This was after a bomb scare in the university. This made the author to reschedule the lecture to another date as well as a new venue. In the new venue she was assured that she would not be inspected at all by the security who are posted in the university gates. However, the author was not satisfied with the idea and foresee a likelihood of her lecture being interrupted by violence. In the article the author brings to the audience attention of the notion that we as citizens of the U.S we don’t accept the bitter truth. The idea she is trying to put across is that the nation is all alone when it comes to tolerating any form of violence in the cities as well as in the suburbs and towns.

The author explains that there is nothing like magic bullets and that bullets come from the crooks in the society who will like to see the community is tore apart by violence. Many a times strategies have been set aside that are aimed at helping the society to identify and respond to early warning and signs of violence but people and security authorities seem to ignore the hints. This later on leads to mass violence and massacre. Towards the end of the article, the author puts across the dangers that the American face due to the unsupervised guns that are next door. The author suggests that it is important for the security agents and the government in general to protect the citizens prior to the violence which will avoid incidences of massacre.

Geren J., Wintemute, Antony A., Braga (2009). Opportunities for State-level Action to Reduce Firearm Violence: Proceeding From the Evidence

This commentary describes the firearm violence that remains a big problem in the society. Evidence in the commentary shows that the use of guns has been involved in majority of crimes that have taken place. It links the gun user to the manufacturer. Based on multiple evidences given in the commentary, Policy initiatives that has been brought have to fight against the use of gun violently have been effective.

The study analysis is over-simplified in the commentary and it is perceived that the recommendations given might be misleading to the user. The evidence in the commentary provides a good ground for the author to make specific recommendations that require action from the highest authority level to combat gun violence. The evidence that is provided should be taken with a lot of caution in order to avoid misinterpretation of the matter in one way or another.

Garen J., Wintemute, Glenn P., David H., Daniel W. (2008). Gun Shows and Gun Violence: Fatally Flawed Study Yields Misleading Results.

This study was widely publicized but ended up being not published. It greatly emphasizes on the relationship that exists between the gun shows and gun violence. It has been discussed in the study in a manner that creates room for debate on how gun shows have greatly resulted to gun violence in the recent past. The study is believed to be fatally flawed.

The study proceeds to provide evidence on how gun shows might not be contributing in any way towards gun violence and shooting among the youth. The study also reflects on the limited understanding on how the gun shows can be powered to bring effect to the viewers to commit gun violence in the society. The research also has outlined a serious ascertainment as well as classification errors which are sensitive and can result to variability in the study.  The study, towards the end gives the audience the room for further research on the issue discussed and that the study should not be used as an evidence in the formulation of the gun policy.

The book provides a definitive and a provocative history on how guns are the heart of America’s cultural divide. The book looks further in the laws that guide the ownership of guns in the U.S banning hand guns in the nation’s capital.

On the other hand the writer brilliantly looks into dramatic stories of the gun ownership rights advocates and providing an insight into the highly debated issue on the gun ownership. AdamWinkler tells a very remarkable story of a group known as the Rag-tag formed by libertarian lawyers who have worked hard for over a century to have a clear cut on the second amendment case to Supreme Court. He further in the story engages the audience with a legal drama on his six year courtroom journey of the misunderstood gun history and control in United States of America.Adam Winkler takes the audience to a potboiler of the constitutional interpretation which is a very vital history and a very satisfying emotional tale of the case.
