ARMING AMERICA CONTROVERSY

In 1996, while working on his master's thesis, Cramer read a paper by Bellesiles on early gun laws, published in the Journal Of American History . This paper formed a basis for Bellesiles' later book, ''Arming America''. Cramer's master's thesis "examined the development of concealed weapon laws in the early Republic", {Link without Title} and he was struck by how the paper contradicted his own knowledge of gun availability in early America. However, at the time, Cramer attributed the contradiction to Bellesiles having picked differing sources from those that Cramer himself knew well.
