S. C. Cornell
Around noon on January 30, 2023, a forty-eight-year-old man named Gabriel Cuen Buitimea crossed the desert from Mexico into the United States. A doting father of ten, Cuen Buitimea was the primary source of support for his family. Although he had occasionally been detained and deported, he had been working construction jobs on both sides of the border for decades and had learned how to make the journey undisturbed.
Tragically, this time would be different. At 6:24 that evening, Cuen Buitimea was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound. His body had been discovered on the ranch of Alan and Wanda Kelly, a married couple in their seventies who had retired to southern Arizona two decades earlier. That night, Alan was charged with first-degree murder. He was soon lionized in the right-wing media, and he put together an eccentric legal defense team. His monthlong trial became a showcase for many of America’s pathologies, most notably the vigilante psychology that dates back to nineteenth-century Americans’ first incursions into Mexico and runs through our national politics today. And it put a spotlight on the troubled relationship between federal agents in ICE and Border Patrol, and the everyday citizens who fancy themselves partners in enforcement.
All Men Carry Weapons is the indelible first-person account of Alan Kelly’s trial for the murder of Cuen Buitimea, interwoven with in-depth reporting on these two men and the history that set them on a collision course. What emerges is a complex portrait of a region in crisis and a country in thrall to political rhetoric that implicates and endangers us all.

Recensies van critici
“This is a remarkable book: a gripping true-crime drama and, at the same time, a compelling reckoning with U.S. history. Cornell writes with moral clarity and an unsparing wit. All Men Carry Weapons is often darkly funny, and, in the end, devastating.” —Greg Grandin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America
“Compelling and meticulously told, Cornell’s tale of a shooting in the desert moves out from a single incident to encompass the violent history of the US border, and the passions and prejudices that animate today’s culture wars.” —Hari Kunzru, author of Blue Ruin and Red Pill
“An engrossing and empathetic book. By refusing to mythologize or demonize, Cornell confronts the reader with the very people this country considers disposable even as she reveals how the legal system, often comedic in its failures, wholly erases the personhood of those it claims to represent.” —Jessica Pishko, author of The Highest Law in the Land: How the Unchecked Power of Sheriffs Threatens Democracy
“Blending intimate reporting with rich historical research, S. C. Cornell tells a powerful story about violence on the U.S.-Mexico border. All Men Carry Weapons skillfully uses a single murder trial to examine our most cherished values of liberty and justice for all.” —Harel Shapira, author of Basic Pistol: Living and Dying by the Gun in America
