MobilizeJune #KeepMarching Teach-In: The Hidden History of the Second Amendment and What Came After · MomsRisingThe national debate about gun violence and gun policy reform rests on an understanding of the Second Amendment shaped by the NRA and other pro-gun extremists. Their definition asserts that the right to bear arms is – and always has been – a bedrock Constitutional right that guarantees freedom. But what if the NRA’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is historically wrong? How has the NRA’s version fed a gun violence epidemic that threatens and terrifies everyone, with disproportionate impacts on communities of color and other vulnerable communities? And how is the NRA’s Second Amendment increasingly infringing on other fundamental rights like free speech and safety? Other topics to be covered include: * The impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Heller decision on gun violence rates and on vulnerable communities * The unfolding impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen decision * How 2A is increasingly infringing on other foundational constitutional rights Details: * **What**: “The Hidden History of the Second Amendment and What Came After” online teach-in * **Who**: Constitutional law professors Carl Bogus and Mary Anne Franks, with moderator Michele Ozumba * **When**: Thursday, June 8, 2023, 8:30 pm ET / 5:30 pm PT * **Where**: Online (Zoom), from wherever you are Sign up now!
