Summary:
"A former
firearms
executive pulls back the curtain on America's multibillion-dollar gun
industry
, exposing how it fostered extremism and racism, radicalizing the nation and bringing cultural division to a boiling point. As an avid hunter, outdoorsman, and conservationist
--
all things that the
firearms
industry
was built on
--
Ryan Busse chased a childhood dream and built a successful career selling millions of
firearms
for one of America’s most popular gun companies. But blinded by the promise of massive profits, the gun
industry
abandoned its self-imposed decency in favor of hardline conservatism and McCarthyesque internal policing, sowing irreparable division in our politics and society. That drove Busse to do something few other gun executives have done: he's ending his 30-year career in the
industry
to show us how and why we got here. Gunfight is an insider’s call-out of a wild, secretive, and critically important
industry
. It shows us how America's gun
industry
shifted from prioritizing safety and ethics to one that is addicted to fear, conspiracy, intolerance, and secrecy. It recounts Busse's personal transformation and shows how authoritarianism spreads in the guise of freedom, how voicing one's conscience becomes an act of treason in a culture that demands sameness and loyalty. Gunfight offers a valuable perspective as the nation struggles to choose between armed violence or healing."--Publisher.
