Fox News
Sociologist Dr. David Yamane and psychologist Dr.Kevin Gilliland discuss with "Sunday Night in America" the uptick of senseless violence in the U.S. and the increased motivation with guns for self-defense.
"I think we have to start by recognizing that guns have always been a fairly normal part of American culture. But the reasons that people owned guns have evolved over time and people have always had firearms for self-defense," Dr. Yamane said, going on to explain how the "core" of American gun culture has seen an evolution motivated by self-defense.

"In the past 30 to 40 years, the self-defense motivation has really moved to the core of American gun culture. So this is what I call gun culture 2.0, the second evolution of American gun culture. Not everybody owns guns for self-defense, but a lot of people do," he said.
