Gunfight : my battle against the industry that radicalized America / by Busse, Ryan,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.One Nation Under Guns -- Hole in the Wall -- Ground Floor -- Rookie of the Year -- Moving Iron -- Killers, Clingers and Clintons -- Beating a Hangover -- Coffin Factories and Horror Movies -- Was it a Kimber? -- Tobacco and Firearms -- The Wages of Sin -- Busted -- Center of Mass -- Rescued by The Sky People -- Tupperware Party -- Couch Commandos -- ZumboMania -- The Best Gun Salesman in America -- Bulletproof Glass -- Dead Or In Jail -- Keeping Score -- Wearing a Target -- The Trump Slump -- Clenched Fist -- Speaking Truth to Bullshit -- Position of Power -- Totalitario -- Un-American Carnage."Ryan Busse has traveled a long, circuitous path along the American gun journey. As an avid hunter, outdoorsman, and conservationist-all things that the firearms industry was built on-he rose to the highest ranks of the rapidly growing, multibillion-dollar firearms industry. But rampant fear-mongering, racism, hardline conservative politics, massive profits from semi-automatic weapons sales, and McCarthyesque policing have driven Busse to do something few other gun executives have done: he's ending his nearly 30-year career in the industry to tell its secrets. He watched the industry change from its smaller, less corporate and far-less-powerful form to the partisan, power-hungry entity it is today. He thought he could go up against the power of the industry from within, and over the years had made small inroads toward sensible gun ownership and use. But that's simply not possible anymore. This book is a whistleblower's call-out, a voice-driven tale of personal transformation, and a fast ride through wild times and colorful characters that populate a much-speculated-about, but little-known industry. It's about how the current politics surrounding guns were developed by a small group of people who figured out how to wield enough power to have massive influence. It's also a story of how authoritarianism spreads in the guise of freedom, how voicing one's conscience becomes an act of treason in a culture that demands sameness and loyalty"--

Gunfight : the battle over the right to bear arms in America / by Winkler, Adam.(CARDINAL)119972;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 303-342) and index.Big guns and little guns at the Supreme Court -- "Gun grabbers" -- "Gun nuts" -- Guns of our fathers -- Civil war -- The wild west -- Gangsters, guns, and G-men -- By any means necessary -- Decision."Author Adam Winkler, a professor of Constitutional law, uses the landmark 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, which invalidated a law banning handguns in the nation's Capitol, as a springboard for a historical narrative of America's four-centuries-long political battle over gun control and the right to bear arms. From the Founding Fathers and the Second Amendment to the origins of the Ku Klux Klan, ironically as a gun control organization, the debate over guns has always generated controversy. Whether examining the Black Panthers' role in provoking the modern gun rights movement or Ronald Reagan's efforts to curtail gun ownership, Winkler weaves together the dramatic stories of gun rights advocates and gun control lobbyists, providing often unexpected insights into the venomous debate that now cleaves our nation"--Provided by publisher.
