The epic history of America’s most controversial weapon
In the 1950s, an obsessive firearms designer named Eugene Stoner invented the AR-15 rifle in a California garage. High-minded and patriotic, Stoner sought to devise a lightweight, easy-to-use weapon that could replace the M1s carried by soldiers in World War II. What he did create was a lethal handheld icon of the American century.
In American Gun, the veteran Wall Street Journal reporters Cameron McWhirter and Zusha Elinson track the AR-15 from inception to ubiquity. How did the same gun represent the essence of freedom to millions of Americans and the essence of evil to millions more? To answer this question, McWhirter and Elinson follow Stoner—The American Kalashnikov—as he struggled mightily to win support for his invention, which under the name M16 would become standard equipment in Vietnam. Shunned by gun-owners at first, the rifle’s popularity would take off thanks to a renegade band of small-time gunmakers. And in the 2000s, it would become the weapon of choice for mass shooters, prompting widespread calls for proscription even as the gun industry embraced it as a financial savior. Writing with fairness and compassion, McWhirter and Elinson explore America’s gun culture, revealing the deep appeal of the AR-15, the awful havoc it wreaks, and the politics of reducing its toll. The result is a moral history of contemporary America’s love affair with technology, freedom, and weaponry.

I love how politicians are completely ignorant of the Armalite weapon. We don’t sell legal ‘assualt’ weapons in the USA. They are one pull-one shot. Like many other rifles. The military versions can be switched from single shot to burst to fully automatic. The civilian versions cannot do this without modifications, which are…illegal.
Just sayin’ joe. fix the f’in border.

The left’s inability to fathom the fact that 250 million innocents were slaughtered after their own governments in the form of democide after they were disarmed, proves they are completely incapable of having a logical discussion about this topic, including discussing the real cause; pharma headmeds aka suicide pills. Their disturbing obsession with creating disarmed victims, appears identical to the psychopathy of serial killers. Americans would do well for calling them out as the aspiring serial killers they appear to be.

urban domestic crime is the real pandemic, not law-abiding citizens owning firearms (as is their explicit right)

I own 3. Yet they have killed no one. Perhaps it is the PERSON and not the GUN? Has this author mentioned that FACT? Doubt it.

Since none of y’all are listening to this –
It’s a HISTORY book. Not politics. It’s telling THE HISTORY of AR15 and the like, colts and more

It was a pretty good book. Did a decent job navigating between political views and did its hardest to stick to history, not opinions. Shame, it looks like most commenters didn’t bother to listen it before review bombing the book.
