11:00Saul Cornell: "A Well-Regulated Militia" (Oxford)
Guest host: Susan Page

A constitutional historian discusses the Founding Fathers' original intent for the Second Amendment, and talks about why neither side of the contemporary gun control debate seems to understand what the amendment is all about.

Guests
Saul Cornell, Associate Professor of History at Ohio State University, Director of the Second Amendment Research Center at the John Glenn Institute, author of "The Other Founders," and editor of "Whose Right to Bear Arms Did the Second Amendment Protect?"


Coming up in about 10 minutes. I'm streaming it from http://www.wfae.org/wfae/index.cfm
 
I disagree with quite a bit of what he says (looks to me like he warms right up to the "well regulated" part of the Amendment,) but I like his statement about the civic duty to participate in the militia.
