Abstract

Before exploring the psychological and historical roots of America’s enduring “love affair” with guns, we must acknowledge the gravity of this moment. The recent 2024 assassination attempts on a presidential candidate, alongside the targeted killings of a health insurance executive and young Israeli Embassy staffers, and decades of mass shootings, have once again thrust firearms into the center of public discourse.
