Preferred term

guns  

Definition(s)

  • Guns were considered a necessity in settling the American frontier during the colonial era, for they provided personal and familial protection and enabled colonists to kill game for survival. In the twenty-first century, guns remain central to popular images of the self-sufficient pioneer and mythic gunfighter, and they are an essential tool of film and television heroes. [Source: American Masculinities: A Historical Encyclopedia; Guns]
