Jonathan Turley: James Talarico's defense of gun control omits a key word
The article discusses a video of Texas Democratic representative James Talarico asserting that the Second Amendment supports gun control because it references a "well regulated" militia. It highlights the historical context of the amendment’s language, clarifying that "well regulated" meant orderly or well maintained, and that the Supreme Court has upheld the individual right to bear arms regardless of this interpretation. Talarico’s view contrasts with the traditional reading that the amendment primarily protects individual gun ownership to support militias, and his stance is relevant as courts review recent challenges to firearm restrictions.
