David Harsanyi, senior writer at The Washington Examiner, nationally syndicated columnist, and co-host of the You’re Wrong podcast, offers a sweeping and thought-provoking look at the role firearms have played in American history. In ‘Forged in Freedom”, Harsanyi explores how guns have helped preserve the nation’s religious liberty, economic independence, and cultural traditions for more than two centuries. Blending history, political insight, and cultural analysis, this talk examines how firearms became intertwined with American freedom, identity, and self-government—and why that legacy still matters today.
