Based on the title and description, this video appears to cover the U.S. Catholic bishops’ amicus brief to the Supreme Court in a Second Amendment case involving assault weapon bans, especially the argument that *common use* should not by itself decide whether a gun law is constitutional.

Summary and Key Points: USS Long Beach proved a nuclear-powered cruiser could work, and that turned out not to be enough. The first nuclear surface combatant ever commissioned went on to fight in Vietnam, deploy for three decades, and serve as a floating laboratory for ideas that became the Aegis…

Summary and Key Points: The third ship to carry Coxswain Samuel B. Roberts’ name nearly went down as the first one did, in combat, but this time the enemy was a mine laid in 1908. The damage to the frigate was roughly 50,000 times the mine’s price. Nearly four decades…
This Photo Could Have Changed the US Air Force Forever: Meet the YF-23, and It Could Have ‘Replaced’ the F-22 Raptor
Summary and Key Points: More than three decades after the Air Force picked Lockheed’s YF-22 over Northrop’s YF-23, aviation fans still argue about whether it chose wrong. The Air Force itself conceded the YF-23 was stealthier and faster. What it doubted was Northrop. The B-2 bomber was drowning in cost…
