A related basic question, outside the us, does gun ownership correlate to gun violence in the way that it does here? Or another way to phrase that, perhaps, what about new zealand, canada and australia? What does account for the seeming american exceptionalis there to own a concept that i call 'gunpower' Right? The question, as i look at it in the book, is why this distinctive model, namely, of the wide distribution of weapons, a tether to processes of racialization and the maintenance of gendered hierarchies. How exceptional is that in the context of a global perspective, right?
