      abstract = {"Author Adam Winkler, a professor of Constitutional law,  uses the landmark 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller,  which invalidated a law banning handguns in the nation's  Capitol, as a springboard for a historical narrative of  America's four-centuries-long political battle over gun  control and the right to bear arms. From the Founding  Fathers and the Second Amendment to the origins of the Ku  Klux Klan, ironically as a gun control organization, the  debate over guns has always generated controversy. Whether  examining the Black Panthers' role in provoking the modern  gun rights movement or Ronald Reagan's efforts to curtail  gun ownership, Winkler weaves together the dramatic stories  of gun rights advocates and gun control lobbyists,  providing often unexpected insights into the venomous  debate that now cleaves our nation"--Provided by  publisher.},
