We're zooming out for the end of our week-long coverage on guns.

We've talked about firearms in Tennessee — from training to tragedy and recovery to recreation. Now, it's time to talk about Tennessee's place on the national stage when it comes to gun ownership, gun use, and gun violence. Tennessee, along with the rest of the South, generally has a different relationship to guns than our Northern counterparts. Today, we'll explore the impact of culture and political beliefs on firearms here in Middle Tennessee and around the world. We also open up the phone lines to hear from listeners.
