Abstract
A group of Delaware warriors attacked her homestead at dawn and killed two teenage boys - her husband's younger brothers - who were out gathering firewood. That changed in 1831, when the gunsmith Samuel Colt introduced a .36-caliber, six-shot, cap-and-ball revolver that could fire fast enough to help Texas Rangers fight off Comanche warriors rattling off droves of flint-tipped arrows. America would not see such levels of violence again until the crack epidemic of the early 1990s, when New York City began losing 1 percent of its black men ages 15 to 24 every four years to violence - mostly from handguns.
