In the aftermath of the insurrection at the Capitol, Dr. Firmin DeBrabander talks about his article in the Atlantic Magazine entitle The Gun-Rights Movement Fed America’s Insurrectionist Fever Dreams.
DeBrabander writes, “Much of the blame for last week’s horrific assault on the
Capitol lies with the president and his allies; that much is clear. But another
force in society has done more than its part, inculcating insurrectionist
fantasies in the American mind for decades: the gun-rights movement.” The article goes on to discuss the marketing
strategies of the gun manufactures, using the ideas of freedom, self-defense
and the counter measure to a tyrannical government.
