On Killing (Book)
By Dave Grossman

What makes soldiers kill--or not--animates this intriguing survey by a psychologist and former U.S. Army officer. Grossman reveals that only a fraction of soldiers kill during warfare (and feel revulsion when they do); the rest (about 85 percent in World War II) resist by missing the target or refusing to fire. With an eye to the military command's imperative of overcoming that innate resistance, Grossman quotes numerous anecdotes that exemplify the phenomenon and studies that examine it.

Using the FBI's statistics for all 3,054 U.S. counties over 18 years (1977-1994), this is the largest national survey on gun ownership and state police documentation in illegal gun use, and comes to some startling conclusions:

2. For each additional year that concealed carry gun laws have been in effect, the rates for murder, robberies, and rape all decline.
3. Children are more likely to die from automobile injuries, drowning or fire and burns, and bicycle accidents than they are to die from gun accidents.
4. Blacks benefit more from gun ownership than whites. Gun control is racist.
5. Women benefit more from gun ownership than men. Gun control is sexist, too.
