This video delves into the historical racist origins of gun control in America, as discussed in a Stanford Law Review article by Jacob D. Charles.

The discussion highlights the 'Abstraction Approach' as a method for courts to potentially uphold modern regulations by separating public safety principles from their discriminatory historical applications.
