The Ethics of Gun Control

The Ethics of Gun Control

On the Philosophy Bites podcast, philosopher Jeff McMahan discusses the morality of gun control with David Edmonds (19:07).   Essentially, the premise of the podcast is whether the Second Amendment would be established if we were starting a society from scratch.  Although McMahan argues in favor of gun control, at times I found his discussion so academic that it seemed like it was more of an argument against philosophy.  However, the podcast is worth listening to since it is an interesting take on the gun control debate because it questions the very soundness of the Second Amendment.
