{"product_id":"new-histories-of-gun-rights-joseph-blocher-9780197748473","title":"New Histories of Gun Rights and Regulation: Essays on the Place of Guns in American Law and Society","description":"The US Supreme Court recently held that the constitutionality of modern gun laws depends on whether they are \"consistent with this Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation.\" This landmark judicial decision, which cited an essay in this collection, made it ever more crucial to be clear about what the \"historical tradition\" entails. The scope of the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms, and accordingly the government's power to regulate firearms in the interest of public safety, hangs in the balance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on original research and sources not available to earlier Supreme Court opinions, \u003cem\u003eNew Histories of Gun Rights and Regulations\u003c\/em\u003e brings together various methodological approaches and highlights issues in firearms law that have been previously underexamined. Its contributors, including distinguished historians, social scientists, and legal scholars, offer valuable new insight into the place of guns in American law and society.
