Harry L. Wilson (born 1957) is a professor of political science at Roanoke College, director of the college’s Center for Community Research, and author of the book Guns, Gun Control, and Elections: The Politics and Policy of Firearms.
Wilson devotes a chapter of the book specifically to gun policy in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
A sabbatical in 2003 provided Wilson the time to attend several Virginia General Assembly sessions where he interviewed legislators and lobbyists.
[citation needed] WSKG-FM, an affiliate of NPR, interviewed Wilson in 2017 to look at various perspectives of the gun control issue.
