If you're not reading his work, and watching his videos, you should be. Moving to Substack to Bring Light Over Heat to the Gun Issue There
As I approach the 13th anniversary of the Gun Culture 2.0 blog this May, I will be winding up my work here. This site will become the home page for the book I am writing on Gun Culture 2.0.
My in-the-moment writing and reflections will shift to “Light Over Heat” on Substack.
The first post in the new location is up already. Welcome to Light Over Heat
As a lifelong liberal sociology professor who now owns guns, I speak with a unique voice in our cacophonous debates on the subject. One reviewer of my book Gun Curious: A Liberal Professor’s Surprising Journey Inside America’s Gun Culture recognized this and said I bring to the gun issue “a refreshing Bob Ross-like calmness that’s much needed.”
One of the things that has happened over the past few decades in this country, is that we have lost the ability to have conversations with people. Professor Yamane is trying, and succeeding in many ways, to build bridges so that we may have those conversations. That gives me some hope for the future of the country.
If you are tired of our paralyzing national argument about guns, my work offers a hopeful alternative based on the kind of civil conversations we desperately need right now. Light Over Heat.
The professor's “Light Over Heat” YouTube channel is also worth your time.
