The perception of Firearms, as a social object in the North America, changed as a direct result of the changing lifestyles in the United States between 1850 and 1950. What was once a tool necessary for protection and sustenance had become a device of the sport which attributed to the creation of the modern day American sportsman.\u00a0 The use of firearms reflected the childhoods of the United States as children became more involved in the\u00a0shooting sports encouraged by influential\u00a0figures such as Annie Oakley and Davy Crockett. These individuals helped to drive the interest of young peoples in becoming outdoorsman and sportsman. Another driving factor in the change in perception of firearms was the major socio-economical changes that occurred\u00a0as a result of the industrialization of\u00a0the late 19th and early\u00a020th century. Accessibility, affordability and the growth\u00a0of material culture in the US have had substantial effects on the number of firearms in public possession. Advertisements skillfully\u00a0attacked boys and men alike offering\u00a0an option for everyone in the family. Being that materialism in the United States was dominated by middle\u00a0to upper-class whites, firearm ownership was most prominent among the white population of the country. The distribution of the white population, being more dominant in the northern portion\u00a0of the country, contributed a dominance in distribution throughout these areas. African-American children had limited access to firearms, the land on which to use them, and the social and economic\u00a0means to acquire them. In conclusion, changing notions of firearms in North America offer valuable insights into material culture, racial inequalities, and population distribution across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
