Pamela Haag examines the commercial origins of American firearm culture, tracing the history of the industry from the nineteenth century to the modern era. By analyzing corporate archives and business strategies, the text reveals how manufacturers actively cultivated a national identity centered on gun ownership. This historical study provides a critical look at the intersection of capitalism, marketing, and the proliferation of weaponry in the United States.
