Guns are ever-present figures in the American public conversation. Rather than rehash the same debates over the right to bear arms or who is at fault in mass shootings, The Lives of Guns shifts the focus from the people wield or defend them to the guns themselves. Taking the agency and power of guns as a radical jumping-off point, this book explores guns as political actors in American culture, ultimately offering something new and different to a complex and emotion-laden debate.
