Frequenting gun shops and shooting ranges, and devoting particular attention to those whose interest in weaponry extends beyond the casual, Abigail A. Kohn captures in finegrained and often entertaining, yet always humane, detail how gun owners actually think and feel about their guns. Through her conversations--with cowboy action shooters at a regional match, sport shooters, hunters, with shooters of all ages and races--we hear of the "savage beauty" of a beautifully crafted long gun, of the powerful historical import owners attach to their guns, of the sense of empowerment that comes with shooting skill, and the visceral thrill of discharging a dangerous weapon. Cutting through the cliches that link gun ownership with violent, criminal subcultures and portray shooters as "gun nuts" or potential terrorists, Kohn provides us with a lively and untainted portrait of American gun enthusiasts.

If the Second Amendment--your right to own a gun--collapses, so does the entire Bill of Rights. And there are powerful, organized political forces that want to take away your gun rights and shove the Second Amendment into the ashcan of history. This is the message of LaPierre and Baker, both officers of the National Rifle Association. Here, the authors break down the agenda of the antigun lobby point by point and provide a strategy for defeating the enemies of your gun rights. Freedom and security are not an either-or proposition--they go together. In America, they always have, with citizens taking responsibility for themselves. That's the spirit that has made the NRA the number one champion of freedom for gun owners and all Americans.--From publisher description.
