They want to get involved. They want to change the world.
Enough Is Enoughis a call to action for teens wanting to get involved in the gun violence prevention movement. This book explains America’s gun violence issues—myths and facts, causes and perpetrators, solutions and change-makers—as well as providing a road map for activism.Enough Is Enoughexplains how America got to this point and the obstacles we must overcome, including historical information about the Second Amendment, the history of guns in America, and a history of the NRA.
Interstitial chapters will include real-life interviews with teens who have survived gun violence, and student activists who are launching their own movements across the country. Additionally, the book will include a Q&A with gun owners who support increased gun safety laws, such as the founder of the organization Gun Owners for Responsible Ownership.
Quotable Passages
"Gun violence prevention activism is like a relay marathon--and we've already begun the process of handing over the baton to you, the younger generation." —Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America

"I hope this book will inspire you to become a gun safety activist. To fight for the world you want to live in and a future without gun violence. You have a voice. You have power. It’s time to use it.” —Michelle McCann
