{"product_id":"gun-crusaders-the-nras-culture-war-9780814764503","title":"Gun Crusaders: The Nra's Culture War","description":"Gun Crusaders is a fascinating inside look at how the four-million member National Rifle Association and its committed members come to see each and every gun control threat as a step down the path towards gun confiscation, and eventually socialism. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Melzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814764503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMelzer, Scott:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eScott Melzer\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Sociology and Chair of the Department of Anthropology \u0026amp; Sociology at Albion College.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40183703208051,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_ac32b09d-b414-418e-8110-1607d467dfef.jpg?v=1655558265","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/gun-crusaders-the-nras-culture-war-9780814764503","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
