‘Armed America - Photos of Gun Owners in Their Homes’

Kyle Cassidy traveled fifteen-thousand miles over a period of two years, photographing Americans in their homes and asking only one question: “Why do you own a gun?”

A really good question, especially since most of these gun ownerships are not easily defensible with the notion of self-defence and their true place should be somewhere in the Armed Forces. All the photo were later compiled in the book with its German edition being published this year. The pics below are taken from the latter. As pointed out by Alan Cooperman from The Washington Post: “Each picture in Armed America could be a pro-gun advertisement - or an anti-gun poster. That’s what makes the book so riveting.” I think these photos are really beautiful and well thought of. Please comment.
