Enlivened by a rich analysis of NRA materials, meetings, leader speeches, and unique in-depth interviews with NRA members, Gun Crusaders focuses on how the NRA constructs and perceives threats to gun rights as one more attack in a broad liberal cultural war. Scott Melzer shows that the NRA promotes a nostalgic vision of frontier masculinity, whereby gun rights defenders are seen as patriots and freedom fighters, defending not the freedom of religion, but the religion of individual rights and freedoms.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"NYU Press","offers":[{"title":"Gun Crusaders: The Nra's Culture War | Scott Melzer | Paperback | 9780814764503 | Used: Acceptable | Back Stacks Q 1643573","offer_id":50707364774146,"sku":"1643573","price":24.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/51cJXasfngL.jpg?v=1791695546","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/gun-crusaders-the-nras-culture-war","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
