Bellesiles about American gun culture, an expansion of a 1996 article he published in the Journal of American History. Belleisles, then a professor at Emory University, used fabricated research to argue that during the early period of US history, guns were uncommon during peacetime and that a culture of gun ownership did not arise until the mid-nineteenth century.
