Thanks much to Wesleyan University's Center for the Study of Guns & Society and director Jennifer Tucker for having Cameron McWhirter speak about American Gun: The True Story of the AR-15 with brilliant students and faculty from Wesleyan, Trinity College, Amherst College, and Yale University. Great panels, questions, and discussion. Some amazing research on guns, gun history, and gun law is underway.
