Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America
by Adam Winkler
An interesting review of the history of gun rights and regulations in the US. Seemed fairly balanced by presenting positives and negatives of both arguments (although reading the negative reviews you’d think the author was arguing for gun prohibition, which he never once does). The author is an academic scholar so he obviously takes a more nuanced and data-informed view of the second amendment. For me, the take home message of the book was that gun rights and gun regulation have always existed hand-in-hand though-out our history. Also, since the supreme court decision, D.C. vs Heller, was pivotal in forming the “individual right” to buy guns, the author does into great historical detail in the inner workings of the supreme court itself, which was fascinating.
