Similar claims were repeated in the aftermath of other recent shootings-after nine were killed in a church in Charleston, South Carolina, and in the aftermath of the massacre in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Despite inevitable questions about gun control, there is a sharp increase in firearm sales in the wake of every mass shooting.Yet, this kind of DIY-security activism predates the contemporary gun rights movement-and even the stand-your-ground self-defense laws adopted in thirty-three states, or the thirteen million civilians currently licensed to carry concealed firearms. As scholar Caroline Light proves, support for "good guys with guns" relies on the entrenched belief that certain "bad guys with guns" threaten us all.Stand Your Ground explores the development of the American right to self-defense and reveals how the original "duty to retreat" from threat was transformed into a selective right to kill. In her rigorous genealogy, Light traces white America's attachment to racialized, lethal self-defense by unearthing its complex legal and social histories-from the original "castle laws" of the 1600s, which gave white men the right to protect their homes, to the brutal lynching of "criminal" Black bodies during the Jim Crow era and the radicalization of the NRA as it transitioned from a sporting organization to one of our country's most powerful lobbying forces.In this convincing treatise on the United States' unprecedented ascension as the world's foremost 330 8 $astand-your-ground nation, Light exposes a history hidden in plain sight, showing how violent self-defense has been legalized for the most privileged and used as a weapon against the most vulnerable. 606 $aSelf-defense (Law)$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aFirearms$xLaw and legislation$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSelf-defense (Law)$xSocial aspects 615 0$aFirearms$xLaw and legislation$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights. 676 $a345.73/04 700 $aLight$b Caroline E.$01249023 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162729103321 996 $aStand your ground$92894597 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04348nam 2200541 450 001 9910827884803321 005 20230414230133.0 010 $a1-4832-7498-5 035 $a(CKB)3710000000201965 035 $a(EBL)1888531 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001455538 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11883676 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001455538 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11407622 035 $a(PQKB)11493752 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1888531 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000201965 100 $a20150109h19591959 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aMatrix calculus /$fE.
