Om episode

In April 1938, an Oklahoma bank robber was arrested for carrying an unregistered sawed-off shotgun across state lines. The robber, Jack Miller, put forward a novel defense: that a law banning him from carrying that gun violated his Second Amendment rights.For most of U.S. history, the Second Amendment was one of the sleepier ones.

And it set off a chain of events that would fundamentally change how U.S. law deals with guns.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
