Guncrazy America

by Frank N. Egerton

The conclusion of this professor-historian (emeritus) is that our gun culture had its uses in establishing American civilization, as slavery did. But we came to recognize (after a bloody civil war) that slavery was a gigantic mistake, and now I think it?s time to realize that our gun culture was a similarly gigantic mistake, though of a different kind.
