Inhaltsangabe

DeConde (history, emeritus, University of California-Santa Barbara) delves into the myths and politics regarding gun-keeping, as well as the controversies over gun use, crime, and policing, from the early days of the republic to the present. He shows that far from being a recent development, the gun-control movement gained momentum among private citizens as an increasingly urbanized and industrialized country expanded westward and as small firearms became more numerous and more deadly. He explains why the US, with all its resources, fails repeatedly to confine gun violence to the same low levels achieved by other advanced democracies. Annotation c.
