April 19th, 2025 marks the 250th anniversary of the REAL American Declaration of Independence, when thousands of average, non-elite Americans declared their independence by deed over a year before the "leaders" in Philadelphia decided to declare it with ink & parchment. Because of this, and because I've recently published the collection of the entire Dangerous History American Revolution series in my Patreon shop, I decided to temporarily reissue DHP episode 59 (originally published in April 2015 & no longer available on the public DHP feed), which centers on the crucial year of 1775. Join CJ as he discusses: Some thoughts on Great Man historical narratives An overview of what was happening in terms of rising tensions in late-1774 and early-1775, much of which related to British attempts to limit colonists' access to weapons and gunpowder A fairly detailed account of the Battle of Lexington & Concord on April 19, 1775 The actions of the Continental Congress, including the appointment of George Washington as Commander of the new Continental Army, and its consequences for the war and the future of America Ethan Allen & his Green Mountain Boys Some other early battles The situation as of the close of 1775 Links Support the Dangerous History Podcast via Patreon Other ways to support the show Get CJ's Dangerous American History Bibliography FREE Subscribe to the Dangerous History Podcast Youtube Channel Like this episode?

On January 5, 2016, President Obama announced he would be taking executive action to reduce gun violence. Surrounded by families of the Sandy Hook tragedy and other mass killings, he vowed to not allow guns to get in the wrong hands. In the past decade, more than 100,000 people have died as a result of gun violence. So, will the President’s recent action impact gun control or will all remain the same? In this episode of Lawyer 2 Lawyer, host Bob Ambrogi joins David B. Kopel, adjunct professor of advanced constitutional law at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law and Laura Cutilletta, senior staff attorney at the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence as they take a look at this executive order on guns, “smart guns”, state laws, public reaction, and the impact this executive order could have on gun violence. Special thanks to our sponsor, Clio.
The President's executive orders on guns contain some relatively benign elements, but parts of the plan could violate the rights of many Americans. David B. Kopel evaluates the plan. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this episode of your favorighteous pro-gun podcast by your friend and brother from another mother, Kenn Blanchard harps on the number “10” like a Sesame Street theme. He always answers a listener that called in about what President Obama said about gun free zones and common sense legislation. What are they? You’ll also hear some little known American history facts about the 10th Cavalry US Army regiment known as the “Buffalo Soldiers.” And you’ll hear why Kenn wants you to join the 10dollargunclub.com. Did you know its crossbreed holsters.com ten year anniversary? Kenn tries to read some good stuff from David B. Kopel’s Truth About Gun Control which sums up some of his points. And he tries to do it all “authoritatively.” Sources for some of the information: The Truth About Gun Control - http://amzn.to/1WQbnHa Alan Korwin -http://gunlaws.com/GFZ/index.htm
