YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Second Amendment. In April 1938, an Oklahoma bank robber was arrested for carrying an unregistered sawedoff shotgun across state lines.

For most of U.S. history, the Second Amendment was one of the sleepier ones. It rarely showed up in court, and was almost never used to challenge laws. Jack Miller's case changed that.
