My Analysis of “The Missing Movement for Gun Control in America”

Kristin A. Goss argues that the pro-control group in “The Missing Movement for Gun Control in America” is weak and strong at the same time. The activists have a strong backbone in the public but lack the will to push for legislative action when America is still raw from a recent massacre. She claims that the pro-control group that even though the activists are strong publicly that they lack strength in the area they need it the most which is politically. They need to be strong in both sections or they will never see any change.  Goss develops this claim by first exploring and then using notes and interviews by pro-control activists and members of the National Rifle Association Legislative Institute. Goss mainly focuses on how much power the NRA has and how weak the pro-control group is at making a difference. Lastly the author states “a single minded focus on the strong side needlessly distracts our attention from the dynamics of the weak side” which in simpler terms means that though the pro-control group presents itself as a group for the peoples protection and that they form these public displaces of disobedience or shall I say theatricals that the anti-control group has a single purpose and Americans will back behind them. Kristin A. Goss’s purpose for writing this book is to inform us on the facts and reason behind the gun control movement in order to better enlighten us on how the movement works and operates here in the United States of America. This work is significant because I answered or shall I say finished every statement with clear and detailed answers retaining to the topic.
