Not all regulation is, by definition, infringement.
Americans, Guns, and the Future
Setup
Dick Metcalf has been shooting since kindergarten, a member of the NRA since middle school. He’s been studying, writing, and teaching about firearms for over 40 years. But Metcalf’s long career as a columnist with Guns & Ammo magazine came to an abrupt halt in late 2013 after he penned a column that explored the line between firearm regulation and Second Amendment infringement. The backlash was quick and complete from what Metcalf calls the “radical extremists” of the firearms movement, a movement he’s always considered himself a part of. Join Dick Metcalf and The Atlantic’s Ron Brownstein for a conversation about guns, culture, and the future of firearms in America.
