challenging dark informative sad medium-paced

4.0

I don’t know what to say about this book.  I agreed with it very much because it was full of statistics and stories that back up what I already believe: that guns endanger us all, especially the owners; that conservatism and Republicanism makes life sadder, shorter, and more brutal; that being part of the team is more important to many than reality. The book didn’t challenge my beliefs, so that’s what makes me weary of it, but if you want an in-depth look at three case studies of Republican policies and why they make everyone worse, this book is for you!
