Katty is joined by historian and co-host of Goalhanger’s Journey Through Time, Sarah Churchwell, to discuss their new series on the History of The National Rifle Association.  How does the history of the National Rifle Association help us better understand how Trump got into power? How did the NRA go from a sportsman’s organisation set up to improve marksmanship following the civil war to a for-profit group fighting gun regulation? How did firearms become integral to certain conceptions of American national identity?
