Robert Spitzer, distinguished service professor emeritus, political science, is the author of the new, tenth edition of his book The Politics of Gun Control. First published in 1995, it is considered the standard work on gun policy in America. The newest edition includes recent, dramatic developments, including the Trump administration’s dismantling of the federal agency charged with carrying out national gun laws, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. The book is published by Routledge.
In addition, his article, “Historical Firearm and Licensing Laws” was published in the most recent issue of the Dickinson Law Review.
