10. depends on the information you want

Mon Apr 7, 2014, 09:46 PM

Apr 2014

for technical information to start:
http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/
or thetruthaboutguns.com
or even start with Wikipedia, or any place that doesn't have a political ax to grind but gives accurate information.
For example, did anyone on MSNBC tell you that under California and NY law, that this is an "assault weapon"? Which means, the ISSF World Cup won't be happening in either of those states, and the Olympics might have a problem as well. That is the only use for that gun. Has never been used in a crime, and has no military or police application.
When it comes to gun control
basically, anything written by this guy. The local library should have a copy of Point Blank as well as this one:
http://books.google.com/books/about/Armed_and_Considered_Dangerous.html?id=kqm8QxE45X0C
https://www.ncjrs.gov/App/publications/abstract.aspx?ID=155885
All three of those are respected criminologists. That is a start.
