Gun vio­lence exacts an enor­mous toll on U.S. soci­ety-claim­ing tens of thou­sands of lives every year. Many more thou­sands are wound­ed and scarred phys­i­cal­ly and psy­cho­log­i­cal­ly. From malls to schools from places of wor­ship to con­certs there is no safe space. Weapons of war are eas­i­ly obtain­able. We have the spec­ta­cle of armed mili­tias in com­bat gear roam­ing state­hous­es, threat­en­ing the lives of gov­ern­ment offi­cials and invad­ing the nation­al Capi­tol itself on Jan­u­ary 6. The main lob­by for guns is the Nation­al Rifle Asso­ci­a­tion, the NRA. It resists com­mon-sense reforms. No mat­ter the trag­ic occa­sion, the NRA recites its slo­gan, Guns don’t kill peo­ple, peo­ple kill peo­ple.” The NRA denounces calls for rea­son­able gun con­trol as attacks on free­dom and lib­er­ty. The organization’s actu­al his­to­ry is hid­den not only from the gen­er­al pub­lic but even from its own members.
