This book is a cultural history of the interplay between the
Western genre and American gun rights and legal paradigms. From
muskets in the hands of landed gentry opposing tyrannical
government to hidden pistols kept to ward off potential attackers,
the historical development of entwined legal and cultural
discourses has sanctified the use of gun violence by private
citizens and specified the conditions under which such violence may
be legally justified. Gunslinging justice explores how the Western
genre has imagined new justifications for gun violence which
American law seems ever-eager to adopt. -- .
