A provocative history that reveals how guns - not abortion, race, or religion - are at the heart of America's cultural divide. Gunfight promises to be a seminal work in its examination of America's four-centuries-long political battle over gun control and the right to bear arms. In the tradition of Gideon's Trumpet, Adam Winkler uses the landmark 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, which invalidated a law banning handguns in the nation's capital, as a springboard for a groundbreaking historical narrative.
From the Founding Fathers and the Second Amendment to the origins of the 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 brilliantly 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.
Gunfight The Battle over the Right to Bear Arms in America (Audible Audio Edition) Adam Winkler John McLain Audible Studios Books
After recent events in this country, I wanted to learn more about the Second Amendment, gun rights, and gun control. I'm not a gun owner myself, but I don't identify as anti-guns. I firmly believe the Second Amendment grants individuals the right keep and bear arms, but with limitations (much like those discussed later in the book). Since this is a review, I'm going to state that I found this book informative about the history of gun rights and gun control in the U.S. as it pertains to the ever evolving social, political, ideological, and racial landscape. In my opinion, Winkler treats all parties discussed with fairness and brutal honesty when needed. I enjoy reading history and informative literature, so I recommend this book for likeminded individuals, and leave other readers to come to their own conclusions.Product details

Gunfight The Battle over the Right to Bear Arms in America (Audible Audio Edition) Adam Winkler John McLain Audible Studios Books Reviews
Thought-provoking. Well done
This is a "must read" book!!!
In today's political climate, where hoplophobes cast insults regarding the intelligence and well meaning of gun owners, this was a fair and balanced review of the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment.
Mr. Winkler provides both a historical perspective and a balanced discussion on one of our country’s most divisive topics. His central discussion on the 2nd Ammendment an firearms was delivered with the story of the SCOTUS decision DC vs Heller as the main thread. It was an easy read peppered with historical references and storytelling.
I am a life member of the NRA and a gun rights supporter. But I have found that this book took a reasoned approach and I learned a lot. I still believe pretty much as I have, but I understand why I have changed over the years. The author says it early on. Gun rights supporters now reject ANY new gun control laws, because so many laws have been proposed and/or passed that do little or nothing to curb crime or violence and have the intent of just making it harder for gun owners, and "some" gun control advocates really want to be rid of guns altogether.
I comes down to to point that most gun rights people don't trust the government to not continually chip away at gun ownership, even when there is no basis that legal gun ownership is the problem.
I'm 63 years old. What this book has made me want to do is sit down with people (not lawmakers) that have opposing views and discuss our differences.
This was a hard read for me because it is so factual but I did finish and I did learn about what has evolved through the years in gun control. So I would say if you want to learn something it is a good book and you will become informed about the issues at hand and how we as a nation have played a role and how the NRA has changed..
This book is an important read for all Americans. It is not an easy read. The author jumps back and forth between supporting anecdotes and more factual reporting. Both sides of the gun control argument are well represented and seem unbiased
