Download Gunfight: The Battle over the Right to Bear Arms in America AudioBook Free
A provocative history that shows how weapons - not abortion, competition, or faith - are in the heart and soul of America's ethnic divide. Gunfight claims to be always a seminal work in its study of America's four-centuries-long political battle over weapon control and the to bear arms. Inside the tradition of Gideon's Trumpet, Adam Winkler uses the landmark 2008 case Area of Columbia v. Heller, which invalidated a regulation banning handguns in the nation's capital, as a springboard for a groundbreaking historical narrative. From the Founding Fathers and the next Amendment to the origins of the Klan, ironically as a weapon control firm, the controversy over weapons has always made controversy. Whether examining the Black colored Panthers' role in provoking the modern gun rights motion or Ronald Reagan's efforts to curtail weapon ownership, Winkler brilliantly weaves alongside one another the dramatic testimonies of gun rights advocates and weapon control lobbyists, providing often unpredicted insights in to the venomous controversy that now cleaves our country.
