- Title
Policing the Second Amendment: Guns, Law Enforcement, and the Politics of Race.
- Authors
Dolgon, Corey
- Abstract
Carlson effectively examines the often-contradictory language of police officials and civic leaders in order to flesh out the sometimes-competing narratives of gun militarism and gun populism. Yet, together, they are both, "deeply embedded" in our nation's "long historical legacy and ongoing policies of white supremacy and racial inequality, and they appear in contemporary discussions about gun policy as coexisting and mutually reinforcing forms of gun talk" (p. 178).
