"A moral, wise, witty, and, dare I say it, disarming book . . . a
must-read for anybody who wants to learn more about the dangerous
link between nationalism and violence." —Sherman Alexie, author of
Indian Killer
"Gun Show Nation provides an indispensable ethnographic guide to
America’s obsession with guns. Anyone interested in understanding
the future of gun control and the remarkable resiliency of gun
rights in American culture will need to grapple with Burbick’s
richly nuanced study of gun shows." —Saul Cornell, author of A
Well-Regulated Militia
"A brilliant and insightful reading of America’s gun culture.
Rooted in the history of social violence, [it] illuminates the
conflict between `gun rights’ and civil rights in American
democracy." —Richard Slotkin, author of Gunfighter Nation
