Dennis A. Henigan is the Vice President for Law and Policy at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and Founder of its Legal Action Project. For twenty years, he has been a leading advocate for stronger gun laws, appearing dozens of times on national television shows, including 60 Minutes, The Today Show, Nightline, Larry King Live, and Dateline NBC. Henigan coauthored Guns and the Constitution: The Myth of Second Amendment Protection for Firearms in America (Aletheia Press, 1995).
"Henigan effectively disarms the gun lobby's arguments, fighting
back with equal doses of common sense and uncommon insight. Lethal
Logic will make it much tougher for spineless politicians in both
parties to hide behind the NRA's superficial slogans and
rationality-defying spin. A must-read for every American who longs
to bring sanity to our nation's gun laws."—Arianna Huffington,
co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post
"No one knows more about our epidemic of gun violence and no one
can state the case for sanity better than Dennis Henigan, who
eviscerates the Orwellian myths through which the NRA justifies so
much death. Henigan exposes how the gun lobby controlled one
political party and intimidated the other. Lethal Logic is a
bracing look at some very hard truths."—Richard North Patterson,
author of Eclipse and Balance of Power
“Dennis Henigan has long been one of the nation’s leading thinkers
on the gun violence issue. In Lethal Logic, he has given us a clear
roadmap toward destruction of the ‘any gun, any time, any place’
arguments of the gun lobby. This book will save lives.”—Sarah
Brady, Honorary Chair, Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence
"Dennis Henigan has set out an insightful examination of the NRA's
impact on the nation's gun debate. Lethal Logic offers a clear and
thoughtful explanation of the methods and tactics used by the NRA
to block common-sense gun laws and their effect on the political
process."—U.S. Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY)
"Anyone interested in the intersection of culture, psychology, and
commerce can find valuable lessons in Lethal Logic. . . Henigan's
insights into the marketing genius of the firearm industry are
truly eye-opening. . . . Whatever your views on guns, their
relationship to crime, and the meaning of the Second Amendment,
Lethal Logic has something important to teach: A consistent,
passionate message cultivates customer loyalty."—Editor's Rating of
Four Stars, Business Week
“Of all the people who work for gun control organizations, Henigan
is probably the most influential thinker. It was he who cooked up
the batch of 1998-99 lawsuits by anti-gun mayors and trial lawyers
against firearm manufacturers, wholesalers, stores, and trade
associations. Ultimately, the suits failed to cripple the firearm
industry, but they came close. Henigan is much more prescient than
some of the other ‘intellectuals’ at gun control organizations in
recognizing when a particular position has become untenable and
needs to be abandoned. . . . Lethal Logic, although not an official
book of the Brady Campaign, presents what will likely be the key
talking points for gun control advocates and their media allies in
the coming months and years.”—America’s 1st Freedom
