GEOGRAPHY OF GUN CULTURE IN US

This April 23, 2023 Politico Magazine article by Colin Woodard is a social scientific analysis of the geography of gun culture in the United States: https://www.politico.com/news/magazin.... Woodard is the author of American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America and American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good, both of which I have read and both of which are excellent.

I don't know. I've never read him and really don't know anything about him. From the Wikipedia articles, he appears to have been quite politically incorrect by today's standards: anti-women, anti-gay, anti-abortion, and so on.

I'd say that if you or someone else wants to actually read his writings and comment on them, we could perhaps make a separate topic on him. If, however, all the information we have on him are Wikipedia articles, I don't think it's worth a separate topic. Your post and this one suffice.
