Praise
“Dan Baum may be exactly what America needs right now: a liberal journalist with a gun.”—The Dallas News
“Vivid. . . . Schlepping among the gun lovers with this guy is unfailingly diverting as well as illuminating.”—Newsday
“[A] wonderfully guileless and open-minded guide to American gun culture. . . . [Baum] has done a public service.”—The Christian Science Monitor
”Baum sets out to understand what motivates so many Americans to be “gun guys”… [and] depicts these people and their different motives with genuine empathy.”—New York Review of Books

“A provocative, probing and frequently funny journey deep into the mentality of the approximately 40 percent of Americans who own guns.” —San Diego Union-Tribune
“Thoroughly entertaining and provocative.”— Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Fascinating, intelligent… Gun Guys is a necessary, insightful”—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Thank goodness we have Dan Baum to guide us through this morass.”— Chicago Reader
