David Yamane is the author of Gun Curious: A Liberal Professor’s Surprising Journey Inside America’s Gun Culture.
A sociology professor at Wake Forest University, David is an internationally recognized scholarly authority on guns in America and a calming voice in our divisive national argument on the issue. An Asian American and lifelong liberal from the San Francisco Bay Area, Yamane became a first-time gun owner as a 42-year-old and began a 12-year journey into the complex world of firearms in America. Having one foot outside and one inside gun culture allows him to speak with compassion across our paralyzing differences.
