Answer: B, "More Guns, Less Crime." LaPierre has written five books in total. “More Guns, Less Crime” was written by economist John Lott. NRA chief to testify on gun control

Wayne LaPierre, the controversial CEO of the National Rifle Association, will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on gun control next week, the panel announced on Friday.

Also testifying will be Mark Kelly, husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), who was seriously wounded in a shooting in January 2011 that left six other people dead. Kelly, a retired Navy captain and astronaut, and Giffords recently co-founded a group called Americans for Responsible Solutions to lobby on the issue.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) plans to mark up a gun control bill in his panel as early as February, aides said. Leahy, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) — who will play a leading role on the issue — hope to send the bill to the floor soon after that.

Other witnesses at the Jan. 30 hearing of the Judiciary Committee include Nicholas Johnson, a professor at the Fordham University School of Law; James Johnson, police chief in Baltimore County, Md.; and Gayle Trotter, a lawyer who is a senior fellow at the conservative Independent Women’s Forum.

LaPierre and the NRA have come out aggressively against any new gun-control measures in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., shooting. But there is strong public support for some proposals, including expanded background checks for gun buyers.
