Former Congressman Steve Israel Pens Satirical Novel "Big Guns"

Description: Former Long Island Congressman Steve Israel has traded in a political career for one as an author – but, the politics have not been discarded completely – especially as the issue of guns in America continues with massive demonstrations led by the teens who survived the shooting at their high school in Parkland, FL in February. In his new novel, Big Guns, the gun lobby controls the political direction of the U.S., requiring that every American over the age of four carry a gun. What ensues is a discomfiting, hilarious indictment of the current state of American politics. The novel is set in a fictional town on Long Island that becomes ground zero for a pitched battle over gun rights and gun control.
