Videos tagged with William Rawle

This video critiques a Department of Justice legal argument that uses the English Bill of Rights of 1689, which disarmed Catholics, as a basis to disarm Americans under the Second Amendment. The speaker argues this is flawed, citing historical American commentators like St. George Tucker, William Rawle, and Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, who emphasized the broader, inclusive nature of the Second Amendment. The analysis also draws parallels to the Supreme Court's ruling in Espinoza v. Montana, which rejected laws based on anti-Catholic bigotry.
