This special issue of Sociological Perspectives arrives amid a renaissance in the academic study of guns in recent years. In addition to individual books and articles, this collection sits alongside several other recent edited volumes (Carlson, Goss, and Shapira 2019; Fisher and Hovey 2021; Obert, Poe, and Sarat 2019) and special issues of journals (Metzl as editor for Palgrave Communications in 2019 and Dowd-Arrow, Burdette, and Hill as editors for Sociological Inquiry in 2021). These works contribute new insights to our understanding of guns in society.
