Dr. Andrew McKevitt on Thinking Globally about American Gun Markets & Gun Politics

In this episode of Guns Unpacked, we are joined by Dr. Drew McKevitt, the John D. Winters Endowed Professor of History at Louisiana Tech University, to discuss his recent book Gun Country: Gun Capitalism, Culture and Control in Cold War America. Dr. McKevitt examines the connections between gun culture and capitalism, extending back to post-WWII geopolitics, that contribute to contemporary gun politics. Dr. McKevitt also clarifies the global implications of gun violence, reframing gun violence as a humanitarian issue and addressing the root causes of gun violence.
