Triggernometry A great deal has been said and written about the history of everything. Keeping that in mind, this paper was damn hard! Finding information, discarding unimportant points, realizing that you’re looking in all the wrong spots, ect. The revolver is my topic, and more over, I want to prove that it is one of the most symbolic of all icons representing what is called Americana (I couldn’t possibly prove it to be the most symbolic…I would lose what’s left of my sanity trying to do that). The story of the revolver and its paradoxical involvement in American society is an interesting one, which I hope to share, not too blandly, with you the reader. To first understand why the revolver is a great American symbol, we must first determine what Americanism is. The dictionary describes it as “Allegiance to the United States and its customs and institutions.” (www.dictionary.com) But it is so much more than this. It is the subconscious need to be the best, the most daring, the bravest, and also things like the most caring, the most humane…this and everything which follows the lines that strive for revolver, american, gun, colt, made, one, first, icon, united, people, homicide, guns, west, states, paragraph, paper, been, became, wild, while, very, true, shows, said, rate, over, make, location, keep, judge, it’s, invention, important, great, government
