Gun Owners Radio: Second Amendment News, Fun & Freedom

JOIN THE PEW PEW CREW!

The Supreme Court just took a case about assault weapon bans, and the whole fight turns on four words from Heller: “dangerous and unusual.”

Attorney Alan Beck, who won Wolford at the Supreme Court, wrote an amicus brief arguing that courts have had those words backwards for years. Unusual never meant rare. It meant carrying a weapon in a way meant to terrify people, and the distinction goes back to English common law in 1328.

Also this week: A retired Navy SEAL says 18-year-olds cannot be trusted with a firearm off duty, and we take that apart. Anti-gun groups demanded better data on defensive gun use and got a number more than twice what they expected.

A school board candidate in South San Diego County gets attacked for our endorsement, and her reason for carrying is one nobody bothered to ask about.

Plus the Dixie Chicks, and a straight answer on which home-defense shotgun to buy.
