An interesting book that contends that, far from being freak accidents or aberrations, guns have always been tied to violence, genocide, and white supremacy and that these are inveterate aspects of American history and culture. Without going into detail, this is a fresh and intriguing perspective on a debate we've grown all too familiar with, it's not a complete history of guns in America or the second amendment but rather it offers a framework for exploring and researching these subjects.
