This video analyzes Megyn Kelly's commentary on gun control, highlighting her appeal to a centrist audience. It argues that her points, emphasizing the ineffectiveness of banning specific firearms like AR-15s due to their common use and the sheer number of semi-automatic weapons already in circulation, are moving into the mainstream. The discussion touches on the historical failure of assault weapons bans and the legal precedent set by Supreme Court decisions regarding firearms.

Quick Summary

Megyn Kelly argues that banning AR-15s is an ineffective gun control measure due to the over 300 million semi-automatic firearms already in the U.S. She highlights that the Supreme Court would likely not uphold such bans under the 'common use' doctrine, and past assault weapons bans have failed to reduce overall gun violence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main argument regarding AR-15 bans and gun control?

The argument is that banning AR-15s is ineffective because there are over 300 million semi-automatic firearms already in the U.S. This vast number means that even if AR-15s were banned, the core issue of semi-automatic firearm availability would remain, making such bans unlikely to significantly reduce gun violence.

Why is Megyn Kelly's commentary on gun control considered significant?

Megyn Kelly's commentary is significant because she speaks to a centrist audience, not just those already aligned with strong gun rights or gun control stances. Her ability to articulate arguments that resonate with the middle ground means these points are entering broader public discourse.

What does the video say about the effectiveness of past assault weapons bans?

The video references the federal assault weapons ban from 1994 to 2004, stating it failed to reduce gun violence. Citing the DOJ's own study, it notes that while the use of banned weapons decreased, this was offset by an increase in the use of other firearms, indicating the ban's limited overall impact.

How does the Supreme Court's 'common use' doctrine relate to AR-15 bans?

The 'common use' doctrine is crucial because the Supreme Court generally allows bans only on firearms considered unusual and uncommon. With millions of AR-15s in circulation, they are widely considered to be in common use, making it unlikely that the Supreme Court would uphold a ban on them.
