B0CXTNL6VD M4B 125 Kbps This book is the definitive work showing the central place of AR-15s and other semiautomatic rifles in the American story. From the founding to the present, rifles and other firearms have played a pivotal role in American history. The story of America's rifle is largely the story of American history. Since the founding of the American republic, riflesbeginning with muzzleloaders and later semiautomaticshave been at the center of American history and pre-history. This book, by renowned historian and attorney Stephen Halbrook, is the definitive account of this centrality of repeating rifles to the American storyfrom its conception to the present day. Some factions of state and national politicians now seek to remake America in a different, novel image by rushing to ban and restrict access to firearms that have long been our heritage. As Halbrook decisively shows, theirs is a war against the Second Amendment and the tradition of freedom and self-sufficiency that has sustained our storied past. Our rights hang in the balancenot as lone pillars but, history shows, as dominos ready to fall in quick succession
