Maria Diaz is intrigued by sleep. She keeps a dream log, and manages to intertwine conscious hours with subconscious hours into a helix-like braid. But her treasures, her "forbidden dreams" are held by oblivion. She would even steal them.

The very title of this book is a sigh, evoking a lament for the briefness of life. To extend existence, man invented the afterlife. Instead, this author does looks to the past and to history.

American concert venues, movie theaters, schools, and nightclubs are being riddled with holes. The dead are interred and mourned just in time for the next mass murder to occur. The headlines project horror and outrage, but only until interest fades. And at the center of it all-guns.America's obsession with guns is venturing into the realm of lunacy. They are cheap and easy to obtain, lawfully protected, and rarely attract blame when tragedy strikes. Opposition to change comes in the form of illogical rationalizations based on the two-century-old Second Amendment, all while the death toll continues to climb.Our Gun Idolatry dissects the various trains of thought that fuel America's love affair with firepower and exposes the flaws behind the most common arguments offered in defense of today's unruly right to bear arms. There is no all-or-nothing solution, and this work demonstrates the ways in which guns can keep a place in society-one that is built on a foundation of safety and accountability.With simple statistical analysis and a heaping dose of pragmatism, Our Gun Idolatry appeals to the common American who is fed up with the reign of death at the end of a barrel.
