In fact, guns may be the best example of how hegemony breeds insularity, as Americans forget how unusual their gun laws are compared with those in other liberal democracies.

Where I live, we have TV programs produced in The UK, The US and Australia. Just by looking at a show's trailers, we can tell whether the show is American or not. If a gun appears, the show is American.
