Gun Crusaders is a fascinating inside look at how the four-million member National Rifle Association and its committed members come to see each and every gun control threat as a step down the path towards gun confiscation, and eventually socialism. Enlivened by a rich analysis of NRA materials, meetings, leader speeches, and unique in-depth interviews with NRA members, Gun Crusaders focuses on how the NRA constructs and perceives threats to gun rights as one more attack in a broad liberal cultural war. Scott Melzer shows that the NRA promotes a nostalgic vision of frontier masculinity, whereby gun rights defenders are seen as patriots and freedom fighters, defending not the freedom of religion, but the religion of individual rights and freedoms. 606 $aGun control$zUnited States 606 $aFirearms ownership$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGun control 615 0$aFirearms ownership 676 $a323.4/3 700 $aMelzer$b Scott$01033581 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455115203321 996 $aGun crusaders$92452205 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03534nam 2200553 450 001 9910817666303321 005 20230628164821.0 010 $a90-04-44944-2 024 7 $a10.1163/9789004449442 035 $a(CKB)4100000011812068 035 $z(OCoLC)1204343711 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004449442 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6526829 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6526829 035 $a(OCoLC)1228911457 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011812068 100 $a20211015d2021 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun####uuuua 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 04$aThe idea of Europe $ethe clash of projections /$fedited by Vladimir Biti, Joep Leerssen, and Vivian Liska 210 1$aLeiden ;$aBoston :$cBrill,$d[2021] 210 4$dİ2021 215 $a1 online resource (ix, 203 pages) 225 1 $aEuropean Studies ;$v37 311 08$aPrint version: The idea of Europe Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2021] 9789004449220 (DLC) 2020058157 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aRethinking the idea of Europe -- Jan Patoc?ka on Europe in the aftermath of Europe / Rodolphe Gasche? -- Post-imperial Europe : the return of the indistinct / Vladimir Biti -- Can the European heritage be redeemed?

The essays collected here reassess the contemporary position of a perceived "European" identity in the world, overshadowed as it is by the long antecedents and current crisis of triumphalist Eurocentrism. While Eurocentrism itself is still a potent mind-set, it is now increasingly challenged by intra-European crises and by the emergence of autonomously non-European perceptions of Europe. The perspectives assembled here come from the fields of political, cultural and literary history, contemporary history, social and political science and philosophy. 410 0$aEuropean Studies ;$v37. 606 $aNationalism$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aGroup identity$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aGroup identity 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aGroup identity 615 0$aGroup identity. 676 $a341.2422 702 $aBiti$b Vladimir$f1952- 702 $aLeerssen$b Joseph Th$g(Joseph Theodoor),$f1955- 702 $aLiska$b Vivian$f1956- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817666303321 996 $aThe idea of Europe$94034343 997 $aUNINA
