Guns are everywhere: three quarters of a billion guns - from pistols to machine guns exist in the world. Illustrated with a range of case material - from North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa, this work explores and questions this global icon. Why do guns proliferate? What does it mean to shoot or to be shot? And more. Please note that images or diagrams have been excluded from this text due to copyright restrictions.
