Legal Expert Defends Gun Rights on PBS!

[Dale00]

A very nice, wide-ranging pro-second amendment interview on PBS of all places. Dr. Joyce Malcolm, George Mason University



The Assault Weapons Ban as Understood by a 2nd Amendment Scholar

Malcolm spoke about how the Second Amendment came to be and what research suggests the framers of the Constitution intended.

She said that the assault weapons ban was unlikely to move to the Senate floor because it seems to ignore recent Supreme Court decisions that establish an individual right to own guns are commonly used for protection.

"I don't really think the idea that you can ban them or reduce the magazine will really pass constitutional muster," Malcolm said. "If your standard is common use, these are all in common use for lawful purposes."

Easily one of the best interviews I have seen.

Compare Dr. Joyce and her knowledge of a firearm against that of Feinstein.

Compare the professionalism of the interviewer, Kwame Holman, against Piers Anthony.

This is how journalism is supposed to be.

One fact that she should have thrown out quickly is that the Bill of Rights were written specifically aimed towards the private citizen, and that it made no sense at that the Second Amendment only would be granting the government a right to own firearms vias militias or a standing army.

I'm sure they're spam folders are full already...they don't care.

Telling a thief that they're wrong while they're stealing your car won't do squat.
