Today on Tom Greshens gun talk.

A new book debunks the myth that passion for firearms is a new thing in America, forced by gunmakers, and examines

Plus, a renewed war on that culture in California, a potential ballot initiative in Florida regarding military

style weapons, and more.

And as always, call 866 Talk Gun with your comments, questions, and range reports.

Welcome, Tom Gresham here. It's gun talk. It's only a week before shot show starts, which is,
