I cite you in my new book! And I have assigned The Zombies Are Coming in an apocalypticism class.

Oh my gosh, yes. <— I wrote a whole book on the good guy with a gun as nostalgic, destructive, history-denying apocalyptic mythology.

<— I wrote a book about the apocalyptic myth around guns in America. Denial of the role guns play in American culture and self-understanding means we can’t get rid of them or even reduce their impact.

<— Wrote a book about that lapse of memory and what guns have to do with it!
