The Gun Debate, Hardback Book

The Gun Debate Hardback

Edited by Michael O'Neal

Part of the Defining Documents in American History series

Hardback

Description

Beginning with the drafting of the Constitution itself up to the present day, there have been intense arguments made both for and against the rights of citizens to form a “well-regulated militia” as set forth in the Second Amendment.

The arguments have become more impassioned in recent years due to the rising number of incidents of school and mass shootings.

This volume analyzes documents that have played a significant role in the attempt to balance the long tradition of gun culture in this country with calls for gun control, including: The Second Amendment; St.

George Tucker, Blackstone’s Commentaries; No Treason by Lysander Spooner; U.S. v. Miller; District of Columbia v. Heller and Firearms in America:Personal Liberty versus Collective Responsibility.
