Arming America, WWII, Fastest Guns, Bronson and Clark


Guns, the NRA, gun registration, assault weapons, school shootings, terrorism-they’re big subjects in the news nowadays.
 
Politicians banter back and forth about gun control, the 2nd amendment and who should have guns and what type.

It’s a conflict that has been around ever since the United States was founded.

But, will gun control ever become a reality?  Considering our nation was nurtured on guns and that the entire history of our expansion involved guns it makes it difficult to believe that America will ever exist without guns.

In Mill Creek Entertainment’s new DVD/Digital Combo: Arming America, The Untold History Of U.S. Gun Culture is examined.

Featuring guns from the NRA museums the DVD unfolds the story about the founding fathers of the gun industry.

It’s a story that gun control and gun proponents should see in order to truly understand the importance of guns in America in times past and in the present.

Unfortunately guns play a pivotal rule in warfare.  Infantry rifles and pistols were just a small part of the arsenal used by the Allies and Axis during the turbulent World War II years.

History buffs are sure to love the series as are those curious about one of the most important events that took place in human history.

The Old West had its share of gunfights.  The expansion of the United States occurred in no small part courtesy of gun fights and skirmishes.
