Nathan Gorenstein joined The Protectors to talk about his new book THE GUNS OF JOHN MOSES BROWNING and his background in reporting. Can you believe the Browning M2 .50 cal is still in action!
From the author: His biography chronicles the achievements of some of the most popular firearms in American history. With the current controversy surrounding gun ownership and usage, Gorenstein takes a refreshingly philosophical stance on Browning’s work pointing out that “firearms indisputably occupy both ends of a moral spectrum starting at good and evil. A gun can save a life, or take a life, and can do either or both with a single shot at a single instant”.
About the Author: Nathan Gorenstein is a former reporter and editor for The Philadelphia Inquirer, where he covered city and state politics and produced a wealth of groundbreaking work. He is also the author of Tommy Gun Winter, the story of a Boston gang from the 1930s that included an MIT graduate, a minister’s daughter, and two of Gorenstein’s own relatives. He competes in handgun sports, sometimes with a Browning 1911 pistol.
