- More about Guns in Law
Weapons have been a source of political and legal debate for centuries, with Aristotle considering the possession of arms a fundamental source of political power. Today, ownership of weapons poses more acute legal problems than ever before, and the editors of this volume explore the history of gun control in the United States, arguing that courts upheld reasonable gun control measures until the 1980s. The contributors confront urgent questions such as the usefulness of history as a guide in ongoing struggles over gun regulation, the changing meaning of the Second Amendment, the perspective of law enforcement on guns and gun control law, and individual and relational perspectives on gun rights.

For centuries, weapons have sparked intense political and legal discussions. Aristotle regarded the possession of arms as a vital source of political power, asserting that tyrants mistrust the people and deny them access to weapons. In contemporary times, the ownership of weapons, ranging from handguns to military-grade assault weapons, presents more complex legal challenges than ever before.
In this comprehensive volume, the editors provide an introduction that traces the history of gun control in the United States. They argue that until the 1980s, courts upheld reasonable gun control measures. The contributors engage in thought-provoking discussions, addressing urgent questions such as the relevance of history in ongoing debates over gun regulation, the evolving interpretation of the Second Amendment, the perspectives of law enforcement on guns and gun control laws, and individual and relational perspectives on gun rights.
The contributors to this volume are a diverse group of experts, including the editors and Carl T. Bogus, Jennifer Carlson, Saul Cornell, Darrell A.H. Miller, Laura Beth Nielsen, and Katherine Shaw. Their insights and perspectives contribute greatly to the understanding of the complex issues surrounding gun control and offer valuable insights into the ongoing debates surrounding this critical topic.
