The Founders' Second Amendment: Origins of the Right to Bear Arms, by Stephen P. Halbrook (Ivan R. Dee, 448 pp., $28.95)
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
STEPHEN P. HALBROOK is a giant among Second Amendment scholars. During the 1980s, he and a tiny group of fellow iconoclasts challenged a well-settled consensus in academia and the courts. According to that consensus, the Second Amendment is an historical anachronism that gives individual American citizens no right at all to keep and bear arms. Although initially ignored by the legal establishment, the early work of Halbrook and his allies demonstrated that the elite consensus was built on nothing but hot air.
