first let me say how much I enjoy what you're doing here! The breadth of topics that you touch on, the lightness of it but also the depth is impressive. You've inspired me to take a stab at something similar. Thank you for that.
I'm curious about your assertion concerning the link between American gun culture and propaganda from arms manufacturers. It sounds like Bernays 100 years before his time (which I was pleased to see you cite next). It sounds plausible but I'd love to hear more.
I dont expect a you're asserting crude monocausality, so how strong is the linkage in your opinion? Is it a case of the tail wagging the dog or is it more nuanced than that?
Howdy,
