Part 2 of 2 on interpreting the Second Amendment, its jurisprudential history & evolution (ending with Heller and Bruen), and how that track record has facilitated lax gun laws like "Stand Your Ground" and the "Castle Doctrine" of self-defense.

Don't Stand So Close To Me (pt 2)

Formerly XXceedingly Persuasive, episodes 1 through 50! In XXP, Mackenzie Joy Brennan (Court Attorney for the NY Supreme Court) and Brooke Rogers (politics writer) tackle the fearsome world of law and policy one issue at a time. 
XXceedingly Persuasive offers nuanced analyses in digestible doses-- adding the cultural, historical and political context to current issues. As young women from different backgrounds and fields, Mackenzie and Brooke show that these issues can be hashed out in a way that feels like a chat with friends: with an eye toward reason, an openness to learning and one or three Michelob Ultra(s)™️.
