Welcome to Litsy!

There is a mythology in the US that we have a gun culture because we always have and it‘s part of our heritage. In focusing purely on the history of the gun business (not on politics), Haag shows how that actually isn‘t the case. Rather, the gun culture was built by the capitalistic drive by these companies to sell their product.

This is referring to the old west, cowboy era. It‘s interesting to really look at history to discern how much is fact and how much is mythology.

Oh! I just heard about this book last night; and I think that for anyone asking how it is we got here (here being the U.S. of N.R.A.) this will be a Must Read!
