text:  This week, we're connecting the dots between Barbies for Men, the NRA, and an assassination attempt. I know, I know. How are all these things connected? Well, we're going to find out with The Wall Street Journal's Zusha Ellenson, co-author of the book American Gun, and Jennifer Massia, senior news writer and founding staffer at The Trace, a nonpartisan nonprofit newsroom that covers guns. Zusha, Jennifer, welcome to It's Been a Minute. Thanks for having us. Thank you.
