Most of the authors addressing the more lurid aspects of what they are pleased to term the "gun culture" have met very few firearms owners. That is the way a stereotype proliferates but it doesn't speak very well for the actual researching abilities of said authors. And this doesn't help:

Somerset undercuts his arguments by deliberately ignoring solid research by respected scholars, such as Gary Kleck and John Lott; instead, he relies upon pseudo-scientific public health activists to bolster his claims.

One might as well try to describe Jewish culture based on the claims of the Volkischer Beobachter, or African-American culture on the wilder spouting of the Ku Klux Klan. It's fine if you're flacking cheap pulp fiction but not quite up to anything approaching academic rigor.

I'll pass on any spittle-throwing declamations on a culture the author clearly neither shares nor understands. Life is too short.

Or I could be very wrong

What’s the difference between M1 and M2 carbines?

I was pretty certain about the difference(semi or full) but probably hard to determine from the picture of the peaceful young man guarding the choir.

You are correct to put that up. There is no racist “gun culture” but GUN CONTROL is racist at its foundation. Same as the eugenics of abortion on demand.

All should see who has historically advanced both these agendas and why.

American anti-gun culture is racist and paranoid.

Paranoid, a little. Racist? Not that I’ve seen.
