56:58Now PlayingAllan J. Lichtman discusses, "Repeal the Second Amendment", at Politics and Prose.
Examining the failed strategies of the gun control movement, Lichtman, Distinguished Professor of History at American University and author of The Case for Impeachment and The Embattled Vote in America, argues that the only way to control the country’s rampant gun violence is by repealing the Second Amendment. Drawing on the nation’s history of firearms and gun regulations, legal theory, and statistics, Lichtman traces the Amendment to a once forgotten sentence in the Constitution, exposes the gun lobby’s distortion of the past, and shows how we can make America safer even without taking guns away from those who currently have them.
Allan J. Lichtman is Distinguished Professor of History at American University and the author of many acclaimed books on U.S. political history, including White Protestant Nation: The Rise of the American Conservative Movement, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, FDR and the Jews (with Richard Breitman), and The Case for Impeachment. He is regularly sought out by the media for his authoritative views on voting and elections.
