Weaponizing narratives, Why America wants gun control but doesn't Have It: Jefferson Memorial Lecture: University of California, Berkeley, US

Activity: Talk or presentationInvited talkResearch

Description

If having a gun really made you safer, then America would be one of the safest countries in the world. It’s not. Yet while Americans consistently favor more gun control, gun laws have generally become more lax. That is partly due to the material resources of the gun lobby. But it is also about the central role of the gun, what it represents in the American narrative, and the inability of gun control advocates to develop; a counter-narrative.
