On this episode of Categorical Imperatives We discuss the Second Amendment and the General Militia Power as a form of Police Reform. That may sounds counter-intuitive, Prima Facie, but I will be making the case as to why this is a crucial step to take, following the death of George Floyd.
This is the second episode exploring the 2nd amendment and a re-discovery of the true meaning of the general militia as defined both in history and law. From English Common Law to our current Corpus Juris.
