Was the Second Amendment Really About Slavery? Malcolm Gladwell vs. the Historical Record
Episode 533
Monday, 2 November, 2026
Malcolm Gladwell told Oprah the Second Amendment was written to protect slavery. Was it? The founding record says no, and this episode walks through it. You'll learn where the right to bear arms actually came from, which states demanded it first and why, how slave patrols differed from militias, and how armed Black Americans protected their own communities through the Jim Crow era. Michael Schwartz talks with Stephen P. Halbrook, attorney, historian and author of The Founders' Second Amendment and America's Rifle: The Case for the AR-15, a book that matters more than ever with the Supreme Court hearing the AR-15 ban cases on December 2. https://www.stephenhalbrook.com/ Also this week: the Justice Department puts Glendale on notice over a CCW that costs about $2,000. Dakota takes six San Diego women to an all-women's 3-gun match. Michael counts every real school shooting since Columbine and gets 126, not 1,100. A man is caught on camera taking down El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells' campaign signs. How one local TV reporter covered three San Diego races. And Stump My Nephew: how many barrels did the Lancaster pistol have? Election Day is Tuesday, November 3.
