Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Rows of handguns lie on display cases at the Showmasters Gun Show on Sunday, March 25 in Richmond, Virginia. Handguns were the most popular firearm sold.
It’s been a decade since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment includes a right to individual possession of firearms and overturned Washington, D.C.’s longstanding ban on handguns.
Kojo takes a walk through the historic District of Columbia v. Heller decision and the local effects of a federal limit on gun control.
