Weapontake at Troynovant:
shooting through and over the thicket of
weapons and martial arts;
men assembling with their arms,
gun rights and freedom of self-defense;
listed by Title
In addition to novels, stories, & films with characters employing traditional or exotic weaponry, we particularly are interested in works and reviews with ideas about weapons as a literary component, the nature of weapons (weapon lift and heft and throw-weight), martial techniques and purposes, or wapentake (taking up arms in the old sense). We find important those works discussing the relation of weapons to freedom and the philosophy of violence in self-defense, whether individualist, communitarian, patriotic, and so on.

[Gloucester's bedchamber and an adjoining room of state, Bury St. Edmunds.]
King Henry:
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted?
Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just;
And he but naked, locked up in steel,
Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted. ...[Enter Suffolk and Warwick with their weapons drawn]
King Henry:
Why, how now lords? Your wrathful weapons drawn
Here in our presence? Dare you be so bold?William Shakespeare
2 Henry VI, 3.2.232-239
