Eric J. Segall, the Kathy and Lawrence Ashe Professor of Law at Georgia State University College of Law, joins NDLS to discuss gun regulation in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Bruen. Prof. Segal argues that the Court's wildly inappropriate judicial aggression towards legislative solutions to gun violence is almost certainly responsible for making the crisis worse. Given the Second Amendment's specific textual reference to militias, as well as the presence of 400,00,000 guns in America, along with all the other contributing factors leading to death and destruction by guns, this judicial interference is constitutional insanity and a form of national suicide. The justices need to return the issue of gun control to the states, to the elected branches of the federal government, and to We the People.
