Review of Owning Guns

This is a great essay from well-known producer Jay Allison. It traces his relationship with guns from his childhood when he received NRA safety training to becoming an anti-gun activist because of a friend’s murder to purchasing a couple of guns following the 9-11 attacks. Jay had some great scenes in this essay. I especially like his writing about a scene from Europe where he contemplates his relationship with guns when looking at pictures from the Iraqi prison abuse. This was a very well-done and presented commentary/feature from one of Public Radio’s most innovative and respected producers. It’s a piece that I would air on Minnesota Public Radio.
