Henigan charts a new path toward ending the American nightmare of gun violence..

Henigan is director of legal and policy analysis at the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and formerly vice president of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. . Dennis A

Cranford I read Dennis Henigan's “The 3 Worst Arguments Against Gun Control” and wanted to hear his arguments in full—so his article in The Daily Beast sold a book. I was hoping for something as profound and intellectually honest as “The Saturday Night Special,” that 1973 classic by the late Robert Sherrill. What I got was a different set of bum.
