@PeterScoblic @mattyglesias yes they went hand in hand. There were three prongs: regulation (where you can and can't smoke) culture (movies/TV/propaganda) litigation — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin this is good, actually, beacuse it allows for deep, sustained and nuanced conversation that isn't constantly being wrenched out of context for dunks. — PolitiTweet.org

@JamieOber8590 @Nate_Cohn @jonathanchait @davidshor @BrendanNyhan @jaycaspiankang @cwarshaw @johnmsides @jon_m_rob yes exactly. The Covid experience was very revealing on this point. — PolitiTweet.org

@Nate_Cohn @jonathanchait @davidshor @BrendanNyhan @jaycaspiankang @cwarshaw @johnmsides @jon_m_rob Here's one example, but there are probably a dozen. https://t.co/3jkdJtmH9c — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@Nate_Cohn @jonathanchait @davidshor @BrendanNyhan @jaycaspiankang @cwarshaw @johnmsides @jon_m_rob Again, my own strong theory is that a lot of this comes back to race, racial hierarchy and how it's used to fracture national solidarity on these matters of collective risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@Nate_Cohn @jonathanchait @davidshor @BrendanNyhan @jaycaspiankang @cwarshaw @johnmsides @jon_m_rob We tolerate *much* more unecessary death than many other similarly situated countries. We also have a way more litigation, which ends up being a strange, and very American form of privatized risk management and one we've outlawed for guns. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@Nate_Cohn @jonathanchait @davidshor @BrendanNyhan @jaycaspiankang @cwarshaw @johnmsides @jon_m_rob The revealed preference of Americans' valuing of each others lives is quite low compared to other countries. That's partly institutional - media, parties, veto choke points - and partly our political/national culture. — PolitiTweet.org

You can't make a big bonfire in the middle of Arizona scrub brush...FOR VERY GOOD REASON. People get that! It's regulated and enforced. You can't just go onto public land and hunt javelinas, you gotta get a permit. You can't drive your ATV in lots of placaes without a permit, etc — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

Here's the thing: even in the most libertarian and conservative parts of the country you have to deal with paperwork/licensing/regulation to do all kinds of stuff: camp, hunt, fish, etc... And people do it! It's fine! — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

At some point we need an accurate definitive account of what went down. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@mattyglesias Yes that's a big part of the challenge. But also there really has been a tangible shift in the discourse and culture around guns in the last decade+ that goes beyond simple self-defense, and that *also* is driving a lot of the worst policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@mattyglesias I like to think of politics as a vocation, the slow boring of hard boards, and changes of the order of magnitude id like to see are going to take a long time. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@mattyglesias Well sure, but to me the most useful model is smoking, or drunk driving or auto-fatalities. You could say: “banning smoking on flights barely makes a difference in lung cancer rates” and that would be true. But also, you have to start somewhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Both are intimately connected to the legacy and reality of racial caste and American exceptionalism towards guns. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

Relatedly, something I tried to write about in A Colony in a Nation, police violence towards Americans and Americans' violence towards other Americans are distinct but related phenomena. America is a very violent place compared to other countries with our wealth. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

I see a lot of tweets and conversation about gun violence in America that glosses over the fact that within the last 40 years the rates of it have fluctuated enormously. — PolitiTweet.org
