Aurora, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech. We’re shocked by the massacres and the loss of life, but how did we get to this? This is the first of a two part program examining guns at length. <\/p>\n

Edge of the South Bronx<\/h3>\n

On the edge of the South Bronx, everybody we talk with has an opinion about guns. One man, held up at his store twenty years ago, developed a lifelong fear. (Beginning to 2:49)<\/p>\n

Falling in Love with Guns<\/h3>\n

Before she was the acclaimed author of Sons and Other Flammable Objects<\/i>, Porochista Khakpour<\/a> fell in love with guns. In an essay for Slate<\/i> published in December<\/a>, Khakpour wrote that she thrived on the attention, even posting a series of sexy shooting range photos on MySpace. Khakpour talks about why she could relate to Nancy Lanza and why guns proved both seductive and problematic. (2:49 to 7:51)<\/p>\n

“1776 Will Commence Again”<\/h3>\n

After Alex Jones’s meltdown on CNN<\/a>, we talked with Saul Cornell<\/a>, a a professor of American legal history at Fordham University and the author of A Well-Regulated Militia<\/i> to untangle the Second Amendment’s true roots. Cornell points out that the Second Amendment has a good deal more to it than the right to keep and bear arms and the “Red Dawn<\/i> fantasy” and discusses how militias and civic obligation were more what the Founding Fathers had in mind. (7:51 to 23:26)<\/p>\n

\"1d\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Interpreting the Second Amendment<\/h3>\n

Adam Winkler<\/a> is a professor of constitutional law at the UCLA School of Law and the author of Gunfight<\/i>. He provides more answers on the Second Amendment, describing how the NRA was originally for gun control before a fateful meeting in Cincinnati<\/a> when gun rights radicals took over an annual meeting and pointing out how recent Supreme Court decisions such as District of Columbia v. Heller<\/i><\/a> and McDonald v. Chicago<\/i><\/a> have helped to curtail regulation efforts. (23:26 to 44:46)<\/p>\n

\n

\"1e\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Living with Guns<\/h3>\n

Our final guest is Craig Whitney<\/a>, a former foreign correspondent for The New York Times<\/i> and author of the book, Living With Guns<\/i>. He is a liberal who believes that the Second Amendment should be honored. (44:46 to end)<\/p>\n
