"Gun rights" is a non-fiction category for books that examine the legal, political, historical and cultural dimensions of civilian firearms ownership and the right to bear arms. Titles in this category typically include constitutional and legislative analysis (for example, Second Amendment scholarship and landmark court cases), policy debates over regulation and public safety, comparative studies of gun laws worldwide, advocacy and organizational histories, and personal narratives from activists, politicians, or citizens. Works range from scholarly legal treatises and policy critiques to accessible overviews and memoirs, and often address questions of self-defense, civil liberties, responsibility and gun-safety education within the broader context of society and governance.

1. The Right Of The People by Osita Nwanevu
A sharp, historically grounded critique of American policing that traces how beliefs about safety, property and race shaped the police’s expansion and distorted their role, arguing that contemporary reforms often entrench harm by treating symptoms rather than causes. Weaving legal and social history with reporting, the book shows how slavery-era patrols, labor control, and twentieth-century professionalization remade public order, and how police increasingly became the default responders to homelessness, mental illness and domestic crises. From this foundation it challenges familiar reformist fixes and advances a practical, justice-oriented case for shrinking police functions, redirecting resources to community institutions and reimagining public safety around prevention, care and democratic accountability.
