Description

 							
  
  Possibly the
most emotionally charged debate taking place in the United States today centers on the Second Amendment to the
Constitution and the rights of citizens to bear arms. In the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre in Connecticut, the
gun rights movement, headed by the National Rifle Association, appears more intractable than ever in its fight against
gun control laws. The core argument of Second Amendment advocates is that the proliferation of firearms is essential to
maintaining freedom in America, providing private citizens with a defense against possible government tyranny, and thus
safeguarding all our other rights. But is this argument valid? Do guns indeed make us free?
   
  In this
insightful and eye-opening analysis, the first philosophical examination of every aspect of the contentious and uniquely
American debate over guns, Firmin DeBrabander examines the claims offered in favor of unchecked gun ownership. By
exposing the contradictions and misinterpretations inherent in the case presented by gun rights supporters, this
provocative volume demonstrates that an armed society is not a free society but one that actively hinders democratic
participation.
  
  Firmin DeBrabander, an associate professor of philosophy at Maryland Institute College of
Art, has written social and political commentary for numerous publications, including the Baltimore Sun, Common Dreams,
Counterpunch, and the New York Times. He lives in Baltimore, MD.
  
  PRAISE
 
“DeBrabander’s arguments are novel, powerful, and compelling. He turns the arguments of gun advocates
against them, showing that a society in which a high proportion of citizens are armed must become a society in which
individual freedoms are eroded and democratic procedures are continuously threatened.”—Jeff McMahan, author
of The Ethics of Killing, and White’s Chair of Moral Philosophy, University of Oxford
  
 
“Firmin DeBrabander does us all a substantial service by reminding us that the gun rights movement, though cloaked
in self-righteousness, is a threat to democracy rather than its protector.”—Stephen Teret, Founding
Director, The Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research
  
  “A provocative philosophical
argument that an armed populace is a Machiavellian idea, not the guarantee of freedom the NRA insists it
is—because only agreement on the rule of law ensures that.”—Craig R. Whitney, author of Living with
Guns: A Liberal’s Case for the Second Amendment
  
  “This book makes a very simple point very
well: guns make us less free. Therefore, the less guns, the more freedom. DeBrabander gives an eminently sane and
rational argument against the armed society that the United States has become and allows us to imagine how we might
escape it and recover the true life of democracy.”—Simon Critchley, The New School for Social Research
  
  “It is a novel concept to examine the debate over gun control from a philosophical
perspective….I believe the book is on to something.”—John Donohue, Stanford University
