"A lively and interesting overview of guns in American life; past, present, and future...Guns in America: A Reader will serve most promisingly as a long-awaited introduction to a complex and controversial issue."
--"Left History"

Firearms have long been at the core of our national narratives. From the Puritans' embrace of guns to beat back the "devilish Indian" to our guilty delight in the extralegal exploits of Dirty Harry, Americans have relied on the gun to right wrongs, both real and imagined.

The extent to which guns have been woven into our nation's mythology suggests that the current debate is only partly about guns themselves and equally about conflicting cultural values and competing national identities. Belying the gun debate are a host of related issues: contesting conceptions of community, the proper relationship between the individual and the state, and the locus of responsibility for maintaining order.

Guns in America documents and analyzes the history of firearms in America, exploring various aspects of gun manufacture, ownership, and useaand more importantly, the cultural and political implications which this history reveals.

Eschewing single-minded partisanship and emphasizing nuance and compromise, Jan E. Dizard and Robert Merrill Muth have assembled a diverse array of writings from all points on the ideological spectrum. The documents span the whole of American history, from Puritan sermons to contemporary NRA documents. The result is an indispensable panorama of the never-ending controversies over gun control, crime, hunting, and militias.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensfuhrung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1,3, Fachhochschule Regensburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Seit dem 11. Marz 2011 um 14.46 Uhr japanischer Zeit steht Deutschland vor der gleichen Situation wie Alice. Ein noch nie dagewesenes Erdbeben in der Nahe der Millionenmetropole Tokyo erschutterte Japan und den Rest der Welt. Das Erdbeben loste ein Horrorszenario aus, es liess ganz Tokyo erzittern, verursachte einen Tsunami, der Millionen Japaner obdachlos werden liess, tausendfache Todesopfer verursachte und die grosste zivile Atomkatastrophe der Menschheitsgeschichte ausloste. Wie Alice fragt sich nun Deutschland, wohin man von hier aus im Bereich der Energiepolitik weitergehen sollte und wird wie das junge Madchen mit der heiklen Frage konfrontiert, wohin das Land denn eigentlich mochte. Der Gesellschaft ist bewusst, dass eine Energiepolitik, wie sie gegenwartig betrieben wird, keinesfalls zukunftsweisend ist. Fruher oder spater werden Faktoren wie die zunehmende Umweltbelastung durch CO2 Emissionen, die Ressourcenknappheit und die Risikobehaftung von Atomkraftwerken die Energiebranche zunehmend zum Handeln zwingen. Somit ist bereits seit geraumer Zeit der Schrei der Gesellschaft nach einem Umdenken seitens der Energiebranche immer lauter zu vernehmen. Dies beweisen deutlich zwei Umfragen, die von Statista durchgefuhrt wurden. Dabei wurde zum einen gefragt, ob der Atomausstieg die richtige Entscheidung ist, zum anderen wurde die Akzeptanz der einzelnen Energietrager abgefragt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eindeutig, dass die deutsche Bevolkerung einen Umbruch in der Energiebranche stark befurwortet, denn 71 % der Befragten sind fur einen Atomausstieg (vgl. Abb. 1) und die Akzeptanz aller regenerativen Energietrager mit Ausnahme von Biomasse liegt bei uber 90 %, wahrend herkommliche Stromerzeugungsarten wie durch Kohle und Atomkraft weit abgeschlagen sind. .
