Gun Show Nation: Gun Culture And American Democracy
Has a good line that the Constitution is not just legal but also cultural. OTOH, focuses too much on the conservative culture here (white males at that), not even having a chapter on hunting. Last chapter comes off as liberal cant after somewhat more balanced main content. Some good history and commentary within its limitations.
