The Second Amendment in Law and History




The articles in this collection support an interpretation of the Second Amendment as a collective rather than an individual right--the right of the states to maintain an armed militia. They draw on documents from the time of the amendment's ratification, relevant historical events in Britain and the United States, and legal analysis.

The articles discuss state/colonial gun control already in place in the 18th century, the contrast between the militia then and today's National Guard, and what the authors believe are the fallacies of the argument that the amendment protects an individual right to own firearms. The contributors, including well-known scholars, are all academics, mostly in law but also in political science and history.

(192 pp. Available in bookstores.)
