Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence: The Book that Stopped a Bullet
The Gun Violence History Book is a symbol and an educational tool, made from facts and newspaper articles to showcase a tragic history that repeats itself.
This book has done what history has been unable to do. Stop a bullet.
The book features 19 milestones to help you better understand gun violence, and how common-sense gun regulations, such as universal background checks, will help it. It’s a a sad uncovering of our past, and acts as a lesson for the future – for Americans young and old who still believe there is a way for us to close the book on America’s gun violence history.
Books were mailed to legislators, displayed in public spaces where historical gun violence took place, and used at schools to educate future voters. The displays, a film and PR drove people to a site where they could email their senator, or request the book to use as a classroom tool.
The Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence — an organization committed to fighting the gun violence issue on a state and federal level — created The Gun Violence History Book. Made out of articles, facts, and data showcasing a tragic and deadly history that repeats itself.
