Podcasts about second amendment

Graham Plattner is running for Senate in Maine. He's not a career politician. He's not a household name. He's a newcomer, and he's coming in with the kind of video that's designed to break through the noise. It's everything you'd expect from someone trying to signal that they're different — kettlebell lifting, scuba diving, oyster farming, military gear. This is Fetterman-core, and I mean that in the pre-stroke, media-savvy, meme-friendly way. It's intentionally loud, intentionally masculine, and intentionally designed to get people talking.But this isn't just a vibe campaign. Plattner's already built a real team. He's working with the same media shop that did ads for Zohran Mamdani in New York and helped elect Fetterman in Pennsylvania. These aren't DCCC types. They're insurgent operatives with a history of getting attention — and winning. That tells me Plattner's not just here to make a point. He's running to win. And in a state like Maine, where ideological boundaries don't map neatly onto party lines, he might actually have a shot.Democratic leadership, though, has other plans. Chuck Schumer and his operation would clearly prefer Janet Mills. She's the sitting governor, she's 77 years old, and she'd walk into the race with a national fundraising network already behind her. But that's exactly the kind of candidate a guy like Plattner is built to run against. If she enters, it turns this race into a referendum on the Democratic establishment. And it gives Susan Collins exactly what she wants: two Democrats locked in a bitter primary while she gears up for a calm general election campaign.Maine is weird politically. I don't mean that as an insult — I mean it's unpredictable in a way that defies national modeling. This is a state that elects independents, splits tickets, and shrugs at coastal assumptions. A candidate like Plattner, who's running a progressive but culturally savvy campaign, could actually catch fire. He's already signaling that he's not going to run from the Second Amendment — which would make him a unicorn among progressives — and he seems to get that guns, culture, and economic populism all intersect here in a way that's not neat or clean.It's early, and most people outside the state probably haven't even heard of him. But he's getting coverage. And he's trying to frame himself as the guy who will show up everywhere — from left-wing podcasts to centrist fundraisers to gun ranges in rural districts. If he pulls it off, it won't just be a Maine story. It'll be a signal that Democrats are still capable of producing candidates who can speak across class and cultural lines without watering down the message. We'll see if he holds up under pressure.Trump, Zelensky, and the Shape of a Ukraine DealTrump's pushing a peace summit with Russia and Ukraine, and the location that's gained traction is Budapest. That's not a random choice. Budapest is where Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for guarantees that turned out to be meaningless. Putin invaded anyway. So now, years later, trying to broker a peace deal in that same city feels almost poetic — or cynical, depending on how you look at it. Macron wants Geneva. Putin wants Moscow. Orbán, who runs Hungary, is offering Budapest as neutral turf. That offer seems to be sticking.The terms of the talks are shifting. Zelensky isn't being required to agree to a ceasefire before negotiations begin — which is a major departure from the Biden administration's stance. Trump's team seems to believe that real movement can happen only if you start talking now, without preconditions. That's risky. But it's also more flexible. The Russians are now suggesting they might accept something like NATO-style security guarantees for Ukraine — just without the name “NATO.” That's a big shift. If they're serious, it opens up a lane for something that looks like independence and protection without triggering all-out war.Zelensky, for his part, is in a bind. His approval rating has dropped. His party just lost ground. The economy is on life support. And the longer the war goes on, the harder it is to keep Ukrainians fully on board with total resistance. That's not a moral failing — it's exhaustion. What Ukraine wants now, more than anything, is certainty. If they're going to give up territory — and no one's saying that out loud, but everyone's thinking it — then they want to know they'll never have to fight this war again. That's where the Article 5-style guarantees come in.Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, is reportedly testing those waters. And Marco Rubio said the quiet part out loud — that if Ukraine can get real security commitments in exchange for ending the war, it's worth exploring. This isn't the “bleed Russia dry” strategy the Biden administration backed. That was about regime change through attrition. This is something else. It's about containment, closure, and trying to make sure the region doesn't explode again five years down the line.No one's pretending this is clean. Crimea isn't coming back. Parts of the Donbas are going to remain contested forever. But if a deal gets Ukraine real protection, even without NATO branding, and gets Russia out of the areas it's willing to surrender, that's movement. And right now, movement is the only thing that separates this from another decade of trench warfare and broken promises. Whether it holds is anyone's guess. But it's on the table now — and for the first time in a long time, that actually matters.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:42 - Maine Midterms00:18:08 - Update00:19:04 - Trilateral Meetin00:30:04 - DC Fed Takeover00:33:24 - Epstein Files00:36:00 - Interview with Alex Epstein01:34:40 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

This week, President Donald Trump federalized policing in the nation's capital. He deployed the National Guard and federal agencies, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). The move has been met with mild pushback from some gun-rights activists. Karl Kasarda from InRangeTV joins the podcast to explain why he thinks there should be more. The prominent GunTuber, who has criticized President Trump more than most other gun-rights activists, argued that sending troops and ATF agents into the streets of DC for general crime control should be a red flag for gun-rights advocates. He went so far as to say that Trump's aggressive use of masked law enforcement, including at one point the ATF, as well as military troops in American cities risks moving in an authoritarian direction. He pointed to the deportation of certain immigrants to an El Salvadorian prison without due process as an example of what concerns him most. He argued the deployment of federal police and troops in connection with those sorts of tactics is a threat to everyone's liberty. Kasarda agreed that the Trump Administration has made a number of pro-gun reforms, like rolling back the ATF's zero-tolerance policy toward gun dealers and effectively neutering the pistol brace ban. But he argued those reforms shouldn't outweigh the limit-pushing nature of Trump's military and police deployments, even if what the President has done thus far hasn't exceeded constitutional bounds in most instances. Special Guest: Karl Kasarda.

the mugshot. That iconic, black-and-white, falsely accused but eternally defiant mugshot. The one that didn't break him—it made him. Because nothing sums up modern politics like turning your opponent into a martyr while also claiming he's an all-powerful dictator.So here's the real question: If Trump is so weak, so incompetent, so dangerously stupid… why are they so terrified of him?Can we all agree that the mugshot placed Trump back on the pedestal. He wasn't scared in that mugshot. He was DEFIANT.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the Leftist world, "manhood" is measured not by courage, strength, or conviction, but by how well you nod along to your partner's every whim. Welcome to the Left's version of masculinity, where the men are less "alpha" and more "adorable lapdog." It's a comedic tragedy, a societal sitcom where the punchline is that the Left's men aren't men at all—they're beta males, scurrying in the shadows of their hyena-like women, hoping for a pat on the head. This isn't just a jab at political ideology; it's a cultural autopsy of what happens when masculinity is redefined as submission. Buckle up for a wild ride through the Left's beta male crisis, where we'll laugh, cringe, and maybe shed a tear for the death of the alpha.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Can I just give you an idea of what's happening right now in this country and around the world. And keep in mind, this is a small fraction of the goings on.First, is Donald Trump real?Scott Bessent calls Trump a cyborgThe man is a machine. And his ability to allude to something, then it happens is uncanny.Remember when the Morning Joe duo dueled it out with Trump then lost. They went to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring. More of that continued when Scarborough defended the president on putting the National Guard in DC.He's saying to criminals and those who allow the lawlessness, “FAFO!”.

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I talk about my time as a CNN contributor coming to an end after 3 years with the network. We also discuss why 18-20 year olds still can't buy handguns in states like Texas and Louisiana despite a 5th Circuit ruling that says they have a constitutional right to purchase them. Plus, William Kirk from the Washington Gun Law Youtube channel joins me to give his thoughts on the ongoing saga surrounding Sig's P320 handgun.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 4: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Hey have fun watching Trump's "listening exercise" with Putin in Alaska today. No, Russia. No, Alaska. I don’t know any more. Listening exercise.” Trump listening to Putin telling him what to do. No crap. This is simple. Trump and Putin will leave this photo-op having agreed on something utterly agreeable to Putin. Like the cease fire Axios reports Trump told European leaders yesterday he really wants. You know what THAT could be: Putin will agree to a cease-fire if Ukraine will stop annoying Putin by defending its territory. Then Trump will claim a victory. Then Ukraine will reject it – although President Zelensky’s real play is to say it is too naïve an idea to even merit a comment, and any child can see that – then Trump will blame Zelensky and say he resolved the war except for the war part. That Zelensky screwed it up. Actually it may be worse. The Times of London headline: “US and Russia ‘propose West Bank-style occupation of Ukraine." Per its source close to the U.S. national security council: "It’ll just be like Israel occupies the West Bank. With a governor, with an economic situation that goes into Russia, not Ukraine. But it’ll still be Ukraine, because … Ukraine will never give up its sovereignty. But the reality is it’ll be occupied territory and the model is Palestine.” THIS IS THE TEST MARKETING OF THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIP: Trump says sure he'll go to Congress to get the use of troops authorized in DC past the 30-day limit. Or he'll just declare a national emergency. He boasts he closed the border and didn't get anybody's permission. He is moving towards the takeover. We are this close to him in the Kim Jong Un hat. THE TRUMPSTEIN COVER-UP CONTINUES: Karoline "Noble Prize" Leavitt explains Trump “wants to see credible evidence released." The part she leaves out is that of course he wants to make sure that this evidence is NOT released. Some of the evidence about Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer has been revealed and somebody tampered with her prisoner status and she may now be free to leave Club Fed during the day. AND JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT Marjorie Taylor Greene wasn't the dumbest of them all - oh yes she is.

Literally one month into my career and only the seventh time my bosses trusted me enough to leave me alone on a sportscasting shift at our 1,000-station radio network, Thurman Munson - catcher and captain of the New York Yankees - was killed when the plane he was still learning how to fly crashed at an Ohio airport.

If Donald Trump says, “Water is wet,” Democrats will gather in the rain to protest it… wearing scuba gear… then file a class-action lawsuit on behalf of “dry people everywhere.” That's how allergic they are to reality.Trump has this superpower: he just says things everyone already knows, and the Left acts like he's revealed the nuclear launch codes. The latest example? He's cleaning house at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Fired the old BLS hack because—brace yourself—she was a Leftist liar cooking the books on economic data.

Picture this: Trump fixes D.C. Crime drops. Streets are clean. Homeless encampments vanish. Businesses return. Suddenly, the city that's been the Left's “can't be fixed” example is… fixed. That's not just a win. That's a demolition of decades of Democrat political branding.Urban decay is the Left's ATM. They point to problems they never solve, demand more tax dollars, and use the chaos as an excuse for more control. If Trump takes that away, they lose their campaign script.Now imagine him rolling out “The D.C. Model” nationwide—Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis, Oakland. It's not far-fetched. He's already got the illegal immigration crisis handled, and homelessness is on his radar. Once he's got stats and before/after visuals, the ads write themselves.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses the current political landscape, focusing on the actions of Democrats, particularly Gavin Newsom, and their strategies to maintain power through gerrymandering and electoral manipulation. He emphasizes the importance of vigilance in protecting individual freedoms and the Second Amendment. The conversation also touches on cultural shifts, particularly among younger generations, as they embrace traditional values and push back against cancel culture. The episode concludes with a critique of the Brady Campaign's narratives surrounding gun control and violence in America. Takeaways The left is actively trying to manipulate electoral maps to maintain power. Vigilance is essential in protecting freedom and individual rights. Democrats often project their own tactics onto their opponents. Cultural shifts are occurring as younger generations reject cancel culture. The Brady Campaign's arguments against gun rights are flawed and misleading. Gerrymandering is a tactic used by both parties, but Democrats are particularly aggressive. Political discourse has become increasingly polarized and aggressive. The importance of supporting organizations that defend Second Amendment rights. Younger generations are reclaiming their freedom and individuality. The narrative around gun violence often ignores important context and data.

Imagine being so intellectually lost that when reality smashes you in the face, you push back on the world instead of admitting you were wrong. That, my friends, is the Leftist species' defense mechanism: transference—not in therapy, but in politics. Here are a few things to consider.Like stopping crime in DCInsider trading by Pelosi and other politicians. But before I get to some of the Left's latest dingbat actions, let's go back a bit to understand how they think…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

'Transference' in psychology happens when someone projects emotions from one situation onto another unrelated one. It's like emotional Photoshop—only the effects are real and deeply warped. Leftists do this constantly: Israel doesn't fit their victim trope, so they remap history. And you know what happens when you build ideological scaffolding on nonsense? It collapses. Spectacularly. In a matter of moments—like when Hamas attacked—you're watching wokeness do a 180 faster than a busted politician's apology tweet.Look at any problem created by Leftists, exposed by us, and you can see transference play out.Again, not to rehash but to reinforce…the border.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, we confront a chilling reality: unvetted individuals crossing the U.S. border, instructed to destroy their documentation, leaving us clueless about who they are. Is this a calculated move? You bet it is. From fentanyl and meth labs to human and child sex trafficking, the collusion between Chinese organized crime and Mexican cartels is fueling a crisis that's spiraling out of control. Are these just drug operations, or is there a more sinister, operative component—perhaps tied to terrorism? John's seen it firsthand, from the grow houses poisoning our lands to the narco takeover of rural communities like Siskiyou County. We'll also touch on John's journey, from his faith-driven resilience to surviving over 20 life-threatening encounters in cartel grow operations.

Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses various aspects of the firearms industry, including concerns about its health, market dynamics, and the demographics of gun buyers. He engages with Lee the Gunwriter Williams on topics such as Washington State's gun legislation and the potential impact of Supreme Court decisions on gun rights. The conversation emphasizes the importance of supporting gun rights organizations and staying informed about legislative changes. Takeaways The firearms industry is currently experiencing a slowdown in sales, but it is not in crisis. Consumer behavior is influenced by political climate and fears of future legislation. Demographics of gun buyers are changing, with more women and minorities entering the market. Many new gun buyers may not become repeat customers due to their initial motivations for purchasing firearms. Washington State's gun laws are under scrutiny, with ongoing legal battles over magazine capacity restrictions. The Supreme Court's decisions will significantly impact gun rights and legislation across the country. Gun rights organizations are becoming more unified in their efforts to protect the Second Amendment. The market will eventually stabilize, leading to lower prices for consumers. Innovation in the firearms industry is crucial for survival during economic downturns. Support for gun rights organizations is essential for maintaining freedoms.

At this point it's clear to me that the Left hate Trump for more than just being Trump. They are way beyond that taught, knee-jerk hate, but have moved on to something else. Trump is more than just a successful politician, reality TV star, and billionaire businessman. He represents all that they've been trying to destroy for decades. The alpha male.The Left's Manhood MeltdownPicture this: a world where "manhood" is measured not by courage, strength, or conviction, but by how well you nod along to your partner's every whim.

Now, let's talk about the Democrats' favorite boogeyman—Donald J. Trump. The man who, according to them, is a simultaneous threat to democracy and the reason democracy still exists to be threatened. The only man in history who makes actual consequences stick to the left like bad cologne on a first date.Think about it—Trump isn't just *a* villain to them. No, no, no. He's the ultimate villain. The Final Boss of their political video game. He's Lex Luthor's brains, Hannibal Lecter's charm, Hitler's… well, everything if you ask CNN, Attila the Hun's aggression, and probably Voldemort if we're throwing in fictional characters. And yet, despite this alleged supervillainy, the man still holds rallies bigger than a Beyoncé concert.Now, here's the irony—Democrats spent years screaming about "norms" and "institutions," only to torch every single one to stop him. They weaponized the FBI, the DOJ, the media, even Big Tech—because when you can't win at the ballot box, you raid the ballot box. Metaphorically. Mostly.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tonight, I'm diving into a topics so juicy, it's practically dripping with irony: Social Security and redistricting. Let's start with Social Security. You like having control of your 401K, right? You get to pick your stocks, tweak your portfolio, maybe even feel like a Wall Street hotshot for a day. But Social Security? Oh, no, no, no. That's 15% of your hard-earned cash snatched from your paycheck the second you clock in, locked away in a government vault guarded by bureaucrats who couldn't balance a checkbook if it came with an abacus. You don't get a say in where it goes, how it's invested, or if it's even there when you retire. It's like giving your life savings to a casino and hoping they don't swap out the slot machines for a “better system.” Spoiler alert: the house always wins.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

State Representative Gina Johnsen of Michigan's 78th District joins the show to discuss her push to protect Second Amendment rights inside the State Capitol Building. She lays out why this move matters for constitutional freedoms, public safety, and the rights of law-abiding citizens, and why Lansing shouldn't be off-limits to the very rights the Constitution guarantees.

After Congress slashed the National Firearms Act (NFA) tax on silencers and short-barreled firearms, nearly every gun-rights group in the country promised to sue in an effort to overturn those sections of the law outright. Now, a few weeks later, those groups have nearly all sorted into two coalitions, and they've both filed suit. One coalition, led by Gun Owners of America (GOA), filed in the Fifth Circuit. Another, led by the National Rifle Association (NRA), filed in the Eighth Circuit. To analyze the arguments of each case, we've got independent gun-rights lawyer Matt Larosiere on the show. He's brought both tax power and Second Amendment challenges against the NFA before. So, he has direct experience with the claims at issue in both cases. Larosiere said he is on board with the logic behind the GOA and NRA lawsuits, but he argued they face a difficult climb to achieve their goals. He said tax challenges are more complex than most people imagine, and it can be difficult for Second Amendment attorneys to navigate the waters of a successful pleading. He said the Second Amendment claim in the NRA case may have an easier path, but noted it wasn't a new tactic and has failed in the past. Special Guest: Matt Larosiere.

In This Episode Erin and Weer'd discuss: the gun rights groups that are challenging the legality of the NFA with a lawsuit; the McCloskeys of St. Louis finally getting their rifle back; and SIG Sauer managing to avoid paying damages in a P320 lawsuit, but the jury findings might be worse in the long term.

Let's talk about the godhead himself: Barack Hussein Obama. The Left's political messiah. The only man who could wear mom jeans and still get a book deal. Well, guess what? Baby Black Jesus has been outed. He knew Russian collusion was a lie. Sat on it. Weaponized it. And never told the American people. You know, the ones who thought democracy was real.Durham's report confirmed what we already knew: Obama, Biden, and Clinton colluded to frame Trump with Russian lies while the media did cartwheels to carry their dirty water. And now? Obama's halo is slipping. His brand is starting to look like the Vineyard Vines version of Watergate.The Democrats have been revealed as the party of frauds, fakes, and fabulists. Their entire platform is duct-taped together by identity politics and MSNBC op-eds.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Democrats spend more time trying to undo Trump's policies than a drunk ex texting “u up?” at 2AM. And like those texts, it's always embarrassing in the morning.I always chuckle when Democrats oppose policies they once championed—simply because Trump supports them now. It's like watching Elizabeth Warren try to moonwalk in moccasins. She was all for lowering interest rates when Biden was tanking the economy. But when Trump even suggests lowering rates? Suddenly it's economic treason.It's policy bipolar disorder. Same policy, different president, and they treat it like a crime against humanity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How's this irony: Trump never needed the media. He just used them like gym equipment—until they snapped under his weight.Donald Trump hasn't just survived the media gauntlet, he's demolished it. He didn't beat them on a technicality. He didn't sneak out a split decision. He left the Fourth Estate face-down, pantsless, with “Fake News” Sharpie'd on their asses like a frat house hazing.Jen Psaki's show is so bad, it's being used at Guantanamo to get confessions.Colbert? Gone. Joy Reid? Fired. Rachel Maddow? Relegated to book tours and sad tweets. Trump didn't just outlast the media—he outboxed, outwitted, and outlasted the very people who declared him finished.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we will perform a financial autopsy of the Left. Where do they get all that money?They certainly don't work for it. These people go from poverty to the penthouse faster than any other group on earth except African generals who overthrow their governments.Then again, in 2020 we had our own coup and clearly a LOT of Democrats got filthy rich during the 4 years that ensued.Democrats have been using our money against us for DECADES. When the team I was on exposed ACORN, we didn't realize that situation was a pimple on an elephant's butt of the corruption inside our government.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Now, let's talk about the man who lives rent-free in the minds of every liberal from Martha's Vineyard to the faculty lounge at Berkeley—Donald J. Trump. The Left is in shambles. I mean, this is their worst political meltdown since… well, since they lost the Civil War. And yes, I did just compare this to the Civil War. Because let's be honest—this is a civil war. The only difference? This time, the Confederates are wearing rainbow flags and screaming about "democracy" while trying to jail their political opponent.But here's the irony—Trump isn't just winning, he's dominating like Lincoln 2.0, but with better hair and way more Twitter followers. And just like Honest Abe, Trump almost suffered the same fate—literally dodging a bullet. Now, I'm no theologian, but at this point, I'm convinced the only being who could take Trump out is God Himself. And guess what? The Big Man Upstairs seems just fine with Trump running the show.

More like "On Earth as it shall be MAGA."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John Commerford, Executive Director of the NRA-ILA and Chairman of the NRA Political Victory Fund, joins the show to break down two critical Second Amendment battles the NRA is currently fighting. From courtroom showdowns to legislative standoffs, Commerford explains what's at stake for gun owners across America and why now is the time to stand firm.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior bring the heat in Episode 125 of The SITREP, tackling the latest battles over the Second Amendment, media manipulation, and America's southern border crisis. They break down the political and legal fallout from new state-level gun restrictions, pointing out the constitutional challenges and grassroots pushback already in motion. The conversation shifts to the media's selective coverage of major events, exposing how narratives are shaped to protect political allies and vilify opponents. The hosts also dig into the ongoing chaos at the U.S.-Mexico border, discussing cartel activity, migrant surges, and the federal government's unwillingness to enforce immigration laws. With their trademark bluntness and humor, CannCon and Alpha connect these issues to the broader fight for individual rights, national sovereignty, and truth in journalism. The episode mixes fiery debate, sharp analysis, and a call for listeners to stay informed and engaged in the fight for America's future.

You ever seen a horror movie where the monster learns to file taxes, mow the lawn, and organize the HOA meeting? That's Trump. The Left says he's chaotic — and they're not wrong.Trump is the political version of smashing the emergency glass — except instead of a fire extinguisher, you get a blowtorch, a backhoe, and an executive order.And the real punchline? His chaos works. The Dow rises while he tweets. Foreign leaders flinch when he sneezes. And now that he's back in power, Democrats are realizing they accidentally summoned the political Jason Bourne. They tortured the wrong guy, and now he's loose with a grudge and a spreadsheet.Trump is like the bad guy in the movie put in the impossible circumstance, but he tells you, “After this, I'm going to kill you.” Then he does it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From December 27, 2023: The Supreme Court last month heard oral arguments in United States v. Rahimi, in which the Court will decide the constitutionality of a federal law that criminalizes the possession of firearms by individuals on whom state courts have imposed domestic violence protective orders. This case came to the Court following its June 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. In that case, the Court determined that whether a law violates the Second Amendment depends on whether there is a “representative historical analogue” for the contemporary law. Amanda Tyler, the Shannon Cecil Turner Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, argued in a recent article in Lawfare that the many laws disarming loyalists that existed at the time of the Founding serve as a set of “historical analogues” required by Bruen to demonstrate the constitutionality of the statute at issue in Rahimi—a claim which has been disputed by Rahimi's lawyers. Lawfare Research Fellow Matt Gluck sat down with Tyler to discuss the Rahimi case, the nature of the Founding-era laws that stripped loyalists of their firearms, whether loyalists were members of the American political community, why that question matters for the Court's ruling in Rahimi, and more.
