Living With Guns: A Liberal’s Case For The Second Amendment

This illustated lecture reexamines America’s relationship with guns, showing how guns are an important part of American culture. The earliest colonists needed them to survive. We have nearly 300 million of them today. Trying to restrict gun ownership doesn’t effectively deter crime—we need to get serious about what actually works. Craig R. Whitney, veteran editor at the New York Times, a former reporter and foreign correspondent, shows that, if we focus on controlling violence rather than guns themselves, the Second Amendment may not be so lethal as the left would like to think.
