This first book on England’s domestic gun culture uncovers the enormous effect the gun had on the social, economic, cultural and political lives of men, women, and children across the social spectrum from 1500 to 1740. Schwoerer explains how subjects responded to guns and how the government reacted to civilians’ possessing them, as well as providing historical context to claims that the right to bear arms originates in the English Bill of Rights of 1689.
