Right to keep and bear arms in the states

[MacGyver]

Here is a great pro-2A article from an unexpected source - last month's Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy.

For anyone who has 15 minutes to spare, there is a great article reviewing the Heller decision and previewing the arguments and likely majority decision in the MacDonald. It gives good background into the 14th ammendment, it's historical interpretations, and some missteps in the court's interpretation over the years. It's well worth a read

Mr. Neily was one of the co-counsels for the plantiff in the Heller case.

As a follow up, one of the other co-counsels in Heller, Robert Levy from the Cato Institute also has a great article on Heller and its implications:

Interesting articles.

In almost every discussion I have read, it seems to be almost a consensus that Slaughter-House needs to be set aside, and, this issue is part of nearly every McDonald debate I have seen.
