David DeGrazia, a professor of philosophy at GW, authored the book Dialogues on Gun Control. The book features perspectives on the gun control debate between individuals from different backgrounds. 

The book introduces students, professional academics and others to the American experience with gun violence and gun policy, articulating ethical arguments supporting and opposing substantial gun control and specific possibilities for reform. The dialogues in the book demonstrate how those who initially disagree about the place of guns in American society can communicate constructively and agree on many ideas.
