While I know that this can be a touchy subject for some here, I thought I would post a book that I have recently finished, that I think is well worth reading/listening. It is not the typical stats and figures weighing for or against the 2nd Amendment, but rather a look at the history that brought about the US 2nd Amendment. The historical look goes back to the Greeks, then Rome, then England (British Bill of Rights, Magna Carta, etc.), and why the Founding Father's enshrined it as a right (without exception, unlike the British Bill of Rights). It also documents (through the study of letters and notes written between the founders of each side of the aisle) why there is even a Bill of Rights, separate from, but in addition to, the US Constitution. The last 1/3 of the book can be ignored, as it goes into purchasing and storing of firearms for new owners.
At any rate, I thought it was an interesting look at WHY the US gun culture is the way it is, and wanted to pass along the book as perhaps a way to understand many Americans' views on the 2nd Amendment.
