Podcasts about gunfight the battle over

Earlier this month, in United States v. Rahimi, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit struck down as unconstitutional a decades-old law barring people subject to domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms. The ruling comes on the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen last term, which held that the Second Amendment protects the right to carry guns outside the home. Bruen also created a new history-and-tradition test for determining whether gun-control regulations are constitutional, which has led some lower courts to now rule differently on challenges to gun laws—including the Fifth Circuit. In this episode, two scholars and experts on the Second Amendment— Amy Swearer of the Heritage Foundation and Adam Winkler of UCLA School of Law—join to break down the Rahimi decision, which the U.S. Supreme Court may review in a future term, and explore the new landscape of Second Amendment law after Bruen. Host Jeffrey Rosen moderates.   Resources   United States v. Rahimi (5th Cir. 2023) NY State Rifle and Pistol Assoc. v.

Ryan Busse is a former firearms executive who pulls back the curtain on America's multibillion-dollar gun industry, exposing how it fostered extremism and racism, radicalizing the nation and bringing cultural division to a boiling point. As an avid hunter, outdoorsman, and conservationist - all things that the firearms industry was built on – Ryan Busse chased a childhood dream and built a successful career selling millions of firearms for one of America's most popular gun companies. But blinded by the promise of massive profits, the gun industry abandoned its self-imposed decency in favor of hardline conservatism and McCarthyesque internal policing, sowing irreparable division in our politics and society. That drove Busse to do something few other gun executives have done: he's ending his 30-year career in the industry to show us how and why we got here. Published in 2013, Ryan Busse's book, "Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America" is an insider's call-out, of a wild, secretive, and critically important industry.

Over a decade since the Supreme Court ruled that corporate political contributions constitute free speech, what has it meant for democracy?

The Supreme Court seemed to leaning toward overturning New York's restrictive carry permit laws for guns in oral arguments this week.  Adam Winkler, UCLA professor of law and author of We the Corporations and Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America, talks about what that might mean in New York, and the other states with similar laws.

Stores Like Wal-Mart Are Entering the Gun Control Debate (0:38)Guest: Adam Winkler, J.D., Professor of Law, UCLA. Author of Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in AmericaAs the coronavirus began to spread widely in the US last month, sales of guns and ammunition made a big jump. People appeared to be stocking up for fear the pandemic would lead to civil unrest. Typically, we see sales skyrocket like this when gun owners are worried about new laws being passed. There was a similar bump after President Obama got elected and another after the Sandy Hook shooting.  But the reality is that it's been 25 years since Congress passed laws that limit the spread and use of guns. In the meantime, we've seen private companies taking up the cause - Walmart, Target, Starbucks, Chipotle, and Costco have all discouraged customers from openly carrying guns in their stores.

People use it to smooth off callouses on feet. Well last fall, a giant clump of it was discovered floating in the Pacific Ocean. It was bigger than the island of Manhattan, made up of pumice stones ranging from marble to basketball size. Really bad news for boats that came upon it, but great news for marine life, apparently.

Most likely it was for some sort of medication or they were sitting on a park bench alone. Research from the AARP shows that older people are usually depicted in the media as dependent and disconnected. And that just doesn't line up with the facts.

Many have criticized the WHO for not pushing harder for fast, accurate information about the virus as it emerged in China. The WHO also did not recommend global travel restrictions as quickly as might have been appropriate in hindsight.

(1:02:42)Guest: Jean-Pierre Isbouts, PhD, Art Historian and Doctoral Professor at Fielding Graduate University. Christopher Brown, DDS, Director of Brown Discoveries, LLC, Co-Authors of “The Da Vinci Legacy: How an Elusive 16th Century Artist Became a Global Pop Icon”It's been more than 500 years since the death of Leonardo da Vinci. The Mona Lisa, the Last Supper, his incredibly detailed human anatomy sketches and his early invention of the bicycle and the parachute make him perhaps the most celebrated artist of all time. But when he died in the summer of 1519, he was not famous. In fact, he was something of a failure by Italian Renaissance standards and was living in exile in France. His burial site went forgotten for centuries. So why is he so famous today? (Originally aired 8/5/2019)

Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America? tells the story of the six-year courtroom battle that culminated in the Supreme Court’s 2008 ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller, invalidating a law banning handgun possession in Washington, DC. In the book, author Adam Winkler gives a historical overview of the battle between gun rights and gun control advocates, and brings to light what he argues are the often misunderstood legal and historical issues central to history of guns in America. -- Winkler, a Professor at the UCLA School of Law, is joined by Nelson Lund, the Patrick Henry Professor of Constitutional Law and the Second Amendment at George Mason University School of Law, to discuss the book.

Adam Winkler, a constitutional law professor at UCLA, documents America's shift away from a radical gun-control agenda that dominated the political landscape in the 1960s and '70s in "Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms In America." In the book, Winkler traces Second Amendment battles back to the Colonial Era and explains how U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of the handgun ban in D.C. with the Heller decision reframed the debate.
