Chapter 1: Introducing the Gun Fight and Values -- Chapter 2: Gun Battles and Cultural Warfare -- Chapter 3: Activists at the Grass Roots of Gun Politics -- Chapter 4: Gun Politics in our Federal Political Institutions -- Chapter 5: Conclusion: Controversial Values, Controversial Policies.

The American gun control debate is best understood as a battle in a war over the influence of individualism on American culture, politics, and policy. This book demonstrates that the gun debate is fundamentally about values. Specifically, it is about what we value most: private rights, or the public good. This helps explain why the technical, empirical, or legalistic arguments we hear aren't persuasive. A review of scholarly literature on both the politics of gun control and American political culture finds an American bias toward an individualism that embraces personal rights. We argue that this bias stacks the deck against gun control. Interviews we conducted with activists show that support for, or opposition to, gun control is linked to concern for the public, or private, good. Finally, we trace the federal gun control debate in Washington from the 1960s to 2010s to show the ebbs and flows of individualism's influence. Dylan S. McLean, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of West Georgia. Anthony K. Fleming, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of West Georgia.
