This podcast episode examines the evolution of individual gun rights, tracing its roots from the activism of the Black Panther Party in the 1960s, which catalyzed public discourse on the Second Amendment, to the pivotal Heller case that solidified the interpretation of individual rights in gun ownership. The transformation of the NRA from a traditional marksmanship organization to a political powerhouse advocating for these rights exemplifies the changing landscape of gun rights in America, as key legal battles and social movements shaped contemporary perceptions of self-defense and regulation laws.
