Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The cryptic wording of the Second Amendment has been the subject of heated debate among legal scholars and historians for years. Some argue that the Founding Fathers meant only to protect a militia’s right to bear arms; others say they intended to protect individuals. And at least one scholar argues in favor of a third interpretation. Join Kojo as we explore what’s known about the founders’ views and preview Tuesday’s Supreme Court deliberations on the gun debate.
Guests
- Saul Cornell Professor of History, Ohio State University; Director, The Second Amendment Research Center; Author, "A Well Regulated Militia: The Founding Fathers and the Origins of Gun Control in America"
