A Conversation About Firearms

Professor David Yamane has a new (to me) project. LET'S TALK GUNS: We Need to Have a Conversation

This experiment was inspired by reporter Michele Norris' Race Card Project. Norris asked people to distill their thoughts on race down to 6 words as a way of initiating conversations about a difficult subject.

In "Let's Talk Guns," I want to do the same for another topic we often have a difficult time talking about. So, to paraphrase Michele Norris:

GUNS. SEND SIX WORDS.

There is a Google Docs form, that is asking for 6 words.

What Do Guns Mean to You?
Use the form below to share your
[story] [ideas] [associations]
in just 6 words

Don't be insane. Think about it for more than 8 seconds. In fact, come back after lunch, or dinner, after you've thought about it for a bit. If you think it's a joke, pass it on by; it isn't for you.
