Gun Debate Symptomatic of US Culture Wars

Mike Lawlor, Associate Professor, University of New Haven

The latest school shooting in Texas last week has once again put America's fixation with guns and gun ownership in the spotlight. This is the 27th US school shooting to happen this year alone;  in 2020, gun violence became the number one cause of death for children and teenagers in the country.
