So I started reading about guns and gun politics and why such a horrible thing was able to happen and why nothing legislative happened in its aftermath to ensure it would never happen again. I read a lot of nonfiction, including Gunfight by Adam Winkler, Gun Guys by Dan Baum. Ricochet: Confessions of a Gun Lobbyist by Richard Feldman. These books, among others, helped give me an idea of the environment and history and politics behind gun violence.

So how does allowing governments the monopoly of lethal force work out for their citizens in the last 100 years including todays world? What is the body count of innocent citizen's? Where is the other half of the story? You know, the lives saved and violent crimes prevented by lethal force used by individual citizens. I have to say your partial cultural picture of the country is slanted and you thus are a Hillary supporter.

I don't think "nonfiction" means what the author thinks it means, if he considers those works to be "nonfiction".

For someone who decided to study gun culture he was careful not to learn anything. I guess it would have offended his delicate nature.

It's too bad he didn't leave a comment section. Someone with real knowledge may have been able to deliver some facts to the author.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. — John Stuart Mills
