Bang for the buck: Adam Hochschild reviews Armed in America: A History of Gun Rights from Colonial Militias to Concealed Carry by Patrick J.

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz on settler colonialism and the Second Amendment. Not so long ago, the Second Amendment didn’t guarantee the right to own a gun.

Choosing assault weapons over country, "nationalists" are apparently anything but.
