Jacob Sullum Debates Gun Control With Adam Winkler on Bloggingheads.tv

In December, less than a week after the Sandy Hook massacre, I debated gun control with Bloggingheads.tv proprietor Robert Wright. I returned to the same forum last week for a debate on the same subject with UCLA law professor Adam Winkler, author of Gunfight:The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America. This time Wright served as the moderator of the first-ever Bloggingheads.tv "triavlog," which I gather has something to do with three people talking on streaming video. Said video is now available here and below.

I think Winkler and I did not disagree as much as Wright wanted, but it was a polite and clarifying discussion. In other words, it's not for you if you are a fan of Piers Morgan. 

Reason.tv interviewed Winkler last year. Thaddeus Russell reviewed Winkler's book (which I also recommend) in the January issue of Reason. My colleague Brian Doherty, whose book Gun Control on Trial Winkler praises in his book, told the story of D.C. v. Heller, the historic Second Amendment case that is the focus of both books, in the December 2008 issue of Reason.
