38: Down the Rabbit Hole

Second Amendment Rights, DC Gun Ban and Henry Clay

Following the lifting of the Washington D.C. gun ban, the hosts discuss the historical context of the Second Amendment. An anecdote about 19th-century abolitionist Henry Clay using a cannon to defend his home from a sheriff is used to argue for the right to own high-powered weapons. The hosts contrast historical self-defense with modern "militarized" police responses.
