Arming America

[Yoshie Furuhashi]

>Recently got round to reading Michael A. Bellesiles' book, "Arming America",
>and having some serious qualms about a fair bit of his evidence, I wondered
>if any non-ideological historians had examined his arguments. I think he
>overstates his case, but all I can find on the internet are attacks from the
>predictable gun nuts. Well, and "Joyce Lee Malcolm", but I find it hard to
>take her very seriously given her latest book.
