In her remarkable new book, “The Gunning of America,’’ historian Pamela Haag undercuts much of the charged rhetoric about the importance of firearms in the nation’s culture and history with a richly sourced, empirical look at the 19th century origins of the gun business and the men who made it.

Don't these jackwagons ever get tired of wasting everyone's time penning these bankrupt pieces of propaganda?

If guns weren't central to the foundation and development of this country's history, there would not be a specific amendment in the Bill of Rights protecting our right to keep and bear them.

There most certainly WAS a "wild west," though it is also true many myths abound about it. Winchester, Colt, Remington, Smith & Wesson and other gun makers provided valuable defense tools for those moving westward. In the 1800s those tools were firearms, in an earlier time they might have been swords or crossbows.
No imaginary "need" for them was concocted by the makers, people buying & using them created the demand.
The west was not "wild?"
Ask George Armstrong Custer...ask Chief Crazy Horse or Sitting Bull, I think you'D get a different story.
