NPR Podcast: throughline: The Right To Bear Arms

[Reptile]

In April 1938, an Oklahoma bank robber was arrested for carrying an unregistered sawed-off shotgun across state lines. The robber, Jack Miller, put forward a novel defense: that a law banning him from carrying that gun violated his Second Amendment rights.

For most of U.S. history, the Second Amendment was one of the sleepier ones. It rarely showed up in court, and was almost never used to challenge laws. Jack Miller's case changed that. And it set off a chain of events that would fundamentally change how U.S. law deals with guns.

Didn’t listen, but do they discuss the complete end run around the constitution that the NFA was or the complete retarded history of the Miller case?

They seem to be focused mostly on discussion of landmark 2a law in general and how it came about. They did say the miller case was decided solely on the prosecutions case due to miller being dead and the defense bowing out but failed to mention they lied.
They're starting to show more of the the bias you'd expect as they get into bruen. I'm out...

Just listen to the show in the background while you surf the internet.

The podcasters had lots of disdain for guns but it was still interesting.

Would not give them the satisfaction of thinking someone other than the airports are listening to them
The faster they go bankrupt the better.

True, but they have the imprimatur of "independence."

On Radio Boston, on NPR last week, they were crowing over James Carville saying that there was a sore on Trump's hand, and he'd talked to doctors, and they all agreed that it had to be secondary syphilis.

Yeah....that's really non-partisan.

NPR is the voice of the enemy there is no doubt.

The bigger point here is that the Miller case failed due to issues with council. The argument is valid and the left sees the fall of the NFA on the horizon. Especially with Bruen and the courts current makeup.

Sadly it looks like ACB is another squish.

There was one NPR podcast way before CoVID. I actually learned all gun control is racist from it.
