Not to be confused with "American Gun: The True Story of the AR-15" by Cameron McWhirter and Zusha Elinson. This book, co-written by the author of American Sniper, who was killed by a gun, is the one that tries to paint guns as glorious agents of progress and not weapons of murder. Consider that your trigger warning

This is an excellent book if you want to be introduced to iconic American firearms. The book was co-written by firearms expert and American hero Chris Kyle.
I found it especially interesting that it included a story of a Thompson submachine gun (also known as Chicago Typewriter).
Auto Ordnance recently resurrected Thompson's design as model 1927A1, and gun collectors and firearms enthusiasts can buy it from select FFL dealers at a very reasonable price. Unfortunately, it comes without a violin case.
