Kristin Goss

  • ... that Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens cited the political scientist Kristin Goss to explain why there was no gun control movement in America? "Indeed, there is a good deal of evidence to suggest that, if anything, American lawmakers tend to underregulate guns, relative to the policy views expressed by majorities in opinion polls. See K. Goss, Disarmed", in the dissenting opinion here
    • ALT1:... that political scientist Kristin Goss wrote a book about why there was no gun control movement in America? "The book attempts to explain why there has never been a true gun control "movement" in America. The "gun control paradox" has been stated as why policy has not followed public preferences for gun control laws. Goss restates the paradox as why those preferences resulted in political inactivity", in Harry L. Wilson, Review of Disarmed: The Missing Movement for Gun Control in America by Kristin A. Goss. Princeton, NJ, Princeton University Press, 2006. 304 pp. $29.95, published in the Political Science Quarterly, 122(2), 2007, 336–337
