Whose Right To Bear Arms?

RADIO GAG - The Gays Against Guns Show

Join Radio GAG for an eye opening conversation with Professor Carol Anderson on her landmark book The Second: Race and Guns in a fatally Unequal America. Professor Anderson and Jay W. Walker examine the roots of the Second Amendment, its context in the slave economy, and how it has come to support white supremacy in the United States. This week Part 1 examines the history of firearms regulations in the 17th and 18th Centuries and who was legally privileged to carry them. Next week, Part 2 in this series examines the right to bear arms from the lens of race in the 19th and 20th century and leads up to the present moment. Also on this episode, we update you on the National Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence, held in Washington DC this week on the 10th Anniversary of the murders at Sandy Hook Elementary School. And a great big invite to Gays Against Guns Party Fundraiser at the Parkside Lounge at 317 E. Houston Saturday Dec. 10th See you there! Sarah Germain Lilly hosts, thanks to special guests Professor Carol Andersona and Jay W. Walker.
