Annotation |
Davidson provides a brief history of the National Rifle Association (NRA) from its 1871 inception as an institution to teach gun-handling skills to its 1990s status as a powerful lobby. His discussion includes NRA's fights against any type of gun control (which began during the cold war), NRA leadership by Harlon Carter, and the escalating number of privately owned guns.
