    “Book Descriptions: In the past decade, no individual act of violence has killed more people in the United States than the gun rampage. This well-researched, forcefully argued book introduces a framework that helps us understand why these acts of brutality occur and guides us in developing strategies for reducing the carnage of such shootings. The author, a security analyst with both national and international experience, proposes six original policy prescriptions for regulating the high-risk weapons that often facilitate rampage violence, including the implementation of a buy-back program for banned extended-capacity magazines and the creation of special gun courts to recover illegal guns. 

    Contrary to much conventional wisdom, the author presents findings indicating that mass shootings have increased in frequency and lethality in recent years, that most rampages occur in gun-friendly locales, and that the federal assault weapons ban helped drastically reduce mass shootings. He also shows how other advanced democracies successfully zeroed out gun rampage violence through increased ownership restrictions and buy-back programs.

    Calling attention to the unique security threat of mass shootings, Rampage Nation demonstrates that there are practical ways to stem this growing form of gun violence and proposes a number of smart, creative solutions.
