Racism, Ron Paul and the Battle over the Right to Bear Arms: An Interview with Adam Winkler

"Part of the way African Americans were kept as second class citizens in America was by denying them access to guns," says Adam Winkler, author of Gunfight: The Battle over the Right to Bear Arms in America, "I think America is a violent society not because of our guns, but because of our culture."

Winkler sat down with Reason.tv's Tracy Oppenheimer to "tell the amazing story of America's complicated history with guns" and share his revelations about the founding fathers, the NRA and even Ron Paul.

Approximately 5.45 minutes.
