Armed American Radio Encore
The Alan Korwin Experience returns to AAR. Alan Korwin joins the show for two solid hours. The Well Armed Woman visits the studio with a special in studio appearance by local chapter leader, Joni Gommo with a call in from group founder Carrie Lightfoot in AZ. David Codrea exposes vital flaws in the Toomey/Manchin bill and Larry Pratt of the Gun Owners of America brings down the house with facts the media will never tell you. AAR re-defines weekend talk radio becoming the second most listened to live broadcast in America every Sunday.
If you missed last Sunday night's live broadcast, you can listen to it at your leisure via the AAR archives. I did a special segment with host Mark Walters in Hour 1, and returned for the Hour 3 "Roundtable." Also joining the program were producer Sean "Seanto" Young and George "Mad Ogre" Hill.

History instructor John E. Sharp said it, I believe it, that settles it.
Actually, it was Handgun Control, Inc. board member and Violence Policy Center adviser Carl Bogus who said it and Sharp didn't credit him. Academics: Is it any wonder we love them so?
And it was Dave Kopel who debunked it:
Unbelievable, that this character presumes to teach and to write about that which he knows nothing. It's nothing short of malpractice. With this appalling admitted level of ignorance and evident lack of curiosity, this guy doesn't even belong in the classroom as a student until he completes some required prerequisites.

History instructor John E. Sharp said it, I believe it, that settles it.
Actually, it was Handgun Control, Inc. board member and Violence Policy Center adviser Carl Bogus who said it and Sharp didn't credit him. Academics: Is it any wonder we love them so?
And it was Dave Kopel who debunked it:
In my own article, "The Second Amendment in the 19th Century," I detail why Bogus's claims in his article on American history are very seriously mistaken. The problem is that his assertions are based on a highly selective and implausible reading of history. For example, Bogus argues that the Second Amendment was entirely the creation of southerners who wanted strong militias to suppress slave revolts; yet he does not even mention that during the constitutional-ratification debates, the first call for an individual-arms right came from the Pennsylvania dissenters. Similarly, Bogus omits the fact that Sam Adams of Massachusetts, who detested slavery, proposed an arms right at the Massachusetts ratifying convention.Back to Sharp:
Discussing James Madison's draft of the Second Amendment, Bogus writes, "We do not know why Madison chose to draft his provisions precisely this way. He did not explain his thinking in any speech or letter that has come to light." Actually, Madison did explain his drafting choices. The Founding Father's explanation makes it clear that he viewed the 1689 English Declaration of Rights as protecting an individual right to arms, and Madison wanted the American arms right to be broader and more protective of individual rights than was the English version.
I have yet to hear a conversation informed by this context: When and for what reasons was the Second Amendment drafted?I wouldn't even know where to begin, legal and scholarly sources are just so damned abundant. Maybe start here and then spend several years keeping your eyes open and your mouth shut. Or here. Or read the Federalist Papers. Or read an amicus brief or two filed in support of Heller or McDonald. Or, you know, use Google...
Unbelievable, that this character presumes to teach and to write about that which he knows nothing. It's nothing short of malpractice.
