This book uses a philosophy of technology to demonstrate that guns
are predisposed for an intentional use, making them inherently
non-neutral artifacts. This argument rejects the often-cited value
neutral thesis and instrumentalist view that "guns don't kill
people; people kill people", and instead, explains the lethality of
the gun through the lenses of affordance theory, behavioral design,
and choice architecture. Ultimately, this book proposes an ethical
and value-sensitive model for gun reform, which embodies the
perspective of French philosopher Bruno Latour, who said, "You are
different with a gun in your hand; the gun is different with you
holding it."
