RACE AND GUN CONTROL — Instavision at the NRA Convention, “From Jim Crow to McDonald v. Chicago: Professor Robert Cottrol on Race and Gun Control:”

Glenn Reynolds speaks with GWU Law Professor and author Robert J. Cottrol about the McDonald v. Chicago Supreme Court decision and how gun control laws have evolved since the Civil War era.

“The gun control movement for the last 40 years has premised it’s efforts on the notion that the only legitimate purpose for having guns might be for sporting purposes, and that self-defense is an illegitimate purpose. And a lot of people in urban areas have no interest in hunting, but they want to be able to defend themselves.” — Robert J. Cottrol
