- Reading
- Read together if the history prompts questions about weapons or public policy. Pause to distinguish the gun’s technical development from the book’s account of its social and political consequences.
- Themes
- Firearms and public policy: The book addresses firearms and public policy; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book clearly addresses gun control as a historical debate, but its stance on the issue is not established.
- Worth knowing
- Consider whether this level of historical violence and the discussion of gun control suit your family’s current conversations.
