57: Capitol Heel

The Mulford Act, Ronald Reagan and Gun Control

The hosts detail the history of the Mulford Act, a 1967 California law signed by Ronald Reagan that restricted the public carrying of loaded firearms. The law was a direct response to the Black Panthers' armed patrols. They draw a parallel between this historical event and the current push for "Patriot Act 2.0" following the Capitol riot.
