“‘The Great Americana Gun War’ bristles with ironies that turn our stereotypes of liberalism and conservatism topsy-turvy: While the New York Times editorializes that ‘[t]he urban handgun offers no benefits,’ its publisher is among the few privileged to possess a New York City permit to carry one at all times. Arch-conservatives who passionately denounce marijuana and homosexuality wax eloquent against the ‘victimless criminalization’ of gun owners.”
