For an eye opening look at the American myth regarding gun ownership I recommend Ortiz book Loaded. She is also the author of the Indigenous Peoples History of the united States.

Not so much 2nd amendment as genocidal land grab. Our entire ethos regarding fire arms begs a closer look.

Thank you, Laurie, for this recommendation. Looks to be an important read to grapple with our ongoing gun culture that is definitely getting worse by the second. Not sure I have ever learned the history of guns from this perspective.
