Lord Hideyoshi, the regent of Japan at the time, took the first step toward the control of firearms. It was a very small step, and it was not taken simply to protect feudal lords from being shot at by peasants but to get all weapons out of the hands of civilians. He said nothing about arms control. Instead, he announced that he was going to build a statue of Buddha that would make all existing statues look like midgets. It would be so enormous (the figure was about twice the scale of the Statue of Liberty), that many tons of iron would be needed just for the braces and bolts. Still more was required to erect the accompanying temple, which was to cover a piece of ground something over an eighth of a mile square. All farmers, ji-samurai, and monks were invited to contribute their swords and guns to the cause. They were, in fact, required to. -- from publisher description.

It is worthless to offer your life as a ransomed sacrifice in the name of false love. False love nourishes us with the bread of sorrows. It is the spiritual sophisticated weaponry instituted within mankind for mass destruction by the devil. False love is nothing, but ‘the Gun under Roses.’ All the atrocities caused in the name of love are the attribute of false love. To be engaged in marriage, love and sex relationships with the Ego’s mindless tantamount to sitting on a timing bomb. Alike, any ideology by which initially, love is its manipulated language and eventually results in counter- productive and hatred is classified as ‘the Gun under Roses. This lovely book, ‘The Gun under Roses’ is of much significant to the human race. It highlights mankind, how to distinguish between the killer false love and the true love that nourishes us with the bread of life. Natural love creates no miseries. ‘We live, but once.’ Life is very precious. We are born free, but lack of awareness we sell our freedom to false love to be incarcerated. It is better to be awakened before making a life time commitment in marriage, love and sex relationships. If you want to live, learn how to live. To avoid atrocities caused in the name of love, and to inherit the ‘living Heaven’ bewitching marriage, love and sex relationships, learn how to love unconditionally. The power of love conquers all.

Firearms have been studied by imperial historians mainly as means of human destruction and material production. Yet firearms have always been invested with a whole array of additional social and symbolical meanings. By placing these meanings at the centre of analysis, the essays presented in this volume extend the study of the gun beyond the confines of military history and the examination of its impact on specific colonial encounters. By bringing cultural perspectives to bear on this most pervasive of technological artefacts, the contributors explore the densely interwoven relationships between firearms and broad processes of social change. In so doing, they contribute to a fuller understanding of some of the most significant consequences of British and American imperial expansions. Not the least original feature of the book is its global frame of reference. Bringing together historians of different periods and regions, A Cultural History of Firearms in the Age of Empire overcomes traditional compartmentalisations of historical knowledge and encourages the drawing of novel and illuminating comparisons across time and space.
