Un-American?
It’s a dead end street to argue why America needs to produce bigger and better guns. It’s un-American not to have new models coming off assembly lines, whether they are from air-conditioners to pickup trucks, to new handguns. The Gun Empire can easily convince gun aficionados that a greater violence is required today to protect our freedoms and give us peace of mind. Regardless of consumerism and of love of the latest gadget, questions about the latest guns should linger.—America and Its Guns: A Theological Expose, page 95
