The Second Amendment Explained: History, Rights & Government Power

What did the Founding Fathers actually mean by the Second Amendment — and how has that meaning shifted over centuries of law, culture, and Supreme Court rulings? In this episode of Moore To Consider, we sit down with Isaac Botkin of T-Rex Arms to trace the Second Amendment from its founding-era roots to today's most contested legal battles. We dig into the militarization of local law enforcement, the tradition of citizen soldiers, federal overreach, and what gun culture really says about American society. This isn't a talking-points debate — it's a deep, nuanced conversation about individual rights, constitutional principles, and the balance of power in America.
