Frequenting gun shops and shooting ranges, and devoting particular
attention to those whose interest in weaponry extends beyond the
casual, Abigail A. Kohn captures in finegrained and often
entertaining, yet always humane, detail how gun owners actually
think and feel about their guns. Through her conversations--with
cowboy action shooters at a regional match, sport shooters,
hunters, with shooters of all ages and races--we hear of the
"savage beauty" of a beautifully crafted long gun, of the powerful
historical import owners attach to their guns, of the sense of
empowerment that comes with shooting skill, and the visceral thrill
of discharging a dangerous weapon. Cutting through the cliches that
link gun ownership with violent, criminal subcultures and portray
shooters as "gun nuts" or potential terrorists, Kohn provides us
with a lively and untainted portrait of American gun
enthusiasts.
