Gun Fight: The Battle Over The Right To Bear Arms In America

Is gun control a racial Issue? While Blacks tend to favor gun control at a higher percentage than whites do, one of the places you will find a lot of overtly racist material is at gun shows. Even the National Rifle Association favored restrictions on gun ownership until the Black Panther Party started carrying guns in public and challenging the police. Adam Winkler is an author, a professor of law at UCLA and a specialist in American constitutional law. He has been researching the issue of guns and gun laws for years and has recently released his latest book Gun Fight: The Battle Over The Right To Bear Arms In America.

Host Margot Patterson will talk with Adam Winkler about his book and how the issue of gun rights is perceived differently by blacks and whites. We will find out how the NRA fits into the constitutional discussion.
