Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Few things generate as much debate as firearms, but behind this hotly debated topic are real people. Cassidy offers a powerful, provocative, and sometimes startling view of gun ownership in the U.S., providing portraits of people from different backgrounds who all share the common connection of owning a firearm.
Book News Annotation:
In the summer of 2006, photographer Cassidy traveled the US
photographing gun owners in their homes. The subjects of the 100
full-page portraits are as varied in age and lifestyle as they are in
their reasons for owning one or many guns--among them fun,
competition, professional necessity, protection against criminals,
protection against the government, nostalgia, investment, and "they
make a nice lamp." Oversize:12x9.25".
