Rampage Nation combines sober analysis with case material to produce an original and engaging book on mass shootings.

Klarevas has a unique focus—gun massacres or high-fatality shootings in which six or more victims die. You should read this book if you would like to know the impact of gun-free zones and armed civilians on mass shootings. This book makes it clear that successful prevention of mass shootings involves targeting both the perpetrator and the weapons that enable gun massacres.

It is simply the best book on mass shootings.

From Thomas' list on gun violence and the gun industry.
