-Massad Ayoob joins Michael Schwartz in San Diego with a history lesson most people never learned: nearly every American president, and more than a few first ladies, was a gun owner. The stories are remarkable, and they cross every political line.

In this segment:

-Eleanor Roosevelt's own revolver, her New York carry permit, and the day she faced down Klan death threats with her own gun instead of Secret Service
-Lincoln shooting Spencer rifles on the White House grounds, and Theodore Roosevelt the gun collector
-FDR, the first legislatively anti-gun president, who kept a loaded pistol by his bed to the end
-Eisenhower carrying a .38 with an NYPD permit, Truman, JFK, Reagan, and beyond
-Why this history matters to the fight for the Second Amendment today
