GunFreedomRadio Video Interview Series Vol39 EP178 Chelsy Lyons, What Is Ethnographic Research?
In this fascinating interview, we chat with Chelsy Lyons, who is an ethnographic researcher exploring the culture of American gun ownership and activism. Chelsy’s current project, My Multicultural Gun: Identity Politics and the Sovereign Individual in American Culture seeks to uncover the real stories of guns in America that gets left out of mainstream media narratives. One of the interesting findings from Chelsy's research is that the term "Gun Culture" is a misnomer. A a singular and cohesive "Culture" around firearms-ownership does not exist in the US. She has found that we, rather, are unique individuals who share the trait of owning firearms, but for vastly different reasons.
