Hammer & Pistol

1. Gun Demographics w/ Adam Denker

Listen Later

This is a long one so I am including timestamps for the various discussion topics below.

Adam Denker called in from the mountains of the PNW so the sound quality is not the best, but I think we had a good discussion on the breakdown of who owns guns, who owns the means of production in the gun industry, and more.

Content warning for the episode: Discussion of military-related violence; white supremacy; suicide; right-wing and fascist ideas about violence; discussion on the history of indigenous genocide and enslavement of Africans.
