Glock The Rise of America's Gun Final Post

After finishing this book I can say without a doubt that this has been the most interesting book I've read to date. I really found myself turning page after page, and before I knew it I had finished the whole book. This book is a very accurate portrayal of the gun culture in America. The book also does a great job of describing how all the events leading up to the introduction of the Glock in America made it the perfect storm to break firearms records. The amount of gun history within this book is very surprising because it seems like a small fact every chapter but in reality those small facts can lead up to a large body of knowledge. This book was a perfect hybrid between a personal narrative and a historical retelling of the events leading up to the rise of Glock. The last big topic that this book talked about in the last few pages was the ending ongoing battle that everyone has to pick a side on when talking about gun control. This was the first piece of literature that seemed to give an accurate portrayal of both sides of the debate. Without a question, this book gave me more knowledge on the topic and was a great help when doing my marketplace of ideas assignment.
