Description
This provocative book debunks the parable that American gun culture used to be intentionally created by gun makers and demonstrates that gun ownership and use have been a core a part of American society since our colonial origins.
• Proves that widespread gun ownership and gun violence existed in early America
• Argues that revisionist claims of the last 20 years about American gun culture are false
• Provides a detailed account of ways Revolutionary American governments reduced in size for guns
• Shows how the American gun industry met private demand and ended in an entirely new way of creating almost the entire manufactured goods we take with no consideration today
