"Mass murders. Increased suicides. Tattered lives. Armed authorities pitted against unarmed Black men. Our means of preventing gun violence is fataly flawed. Robert Fraga covers the history, statistics and more, answering the question: what can be done? Fraga examines the Heartland, specifically Kansas. "Bleeding Kansas" he reminds the reader, is "home to Dodge City, the cow town so beset by violence that it invited Wyatt Earp to be its Marshall. The City Council instituted a "Deadline" along Front Street, separating the north end of town where guns were prohibited--cowboys packing heat there were arrested and immediately packed off to jail--from the free-wheeling south end where pretty much any behavior went unchecked." Unpacking the right to bear arms and the 2nd Amendment; Fraga exposes the history of the NRA up to and including the Russian Maria Butina's involvement in the NRA in 2016."
