The Second Amendment in Court
Author: Donald J. Campbell
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
Release Date: 2025-09-18
Explores pivotal state and federal firearms cases and traces the conflicting legal opinions that have made the second amendment so controversial. One of the most controversial aspects of the U.S. constitution, the Second Amendment continues to divide lawmakers and the general public alike. The Second Amendment has long been the subject of myriad court cases, at both the state and federal levels. In this valuable sourcebook, close examination of these court decisions demystifies the controversy surrounding gun rights and regulations. Chronologically presenting actual court decisions from the early 1800s through the present alongside contextual information and analysis, Donald J. Campbell traces the conflicting legal opinions that have led to our current understanding of the Second Amendment. It highlights the amendment's two major controversies: the individual right versus collective right debate and the incorporation of the Second Amendment by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Chapters also thoroughly examine the most influential Supreme Court Cases that dominate popular discussions of the amendment, such as United States v. Miller, District of Columbia v. Heller, McDonald v. City of Chicago, and NYSRPA v. Bruen.
Guns 360

Release Date: 2022-06-22
Guns 360 takes a comprehensive and common-sense approach to some of the most difficult issues facing not only the criminal justice system but also society as a whole: firearm possession, regulation, and control. Issues related to firearms cut across all dimensions of society and are a concern to everyone from the members of the general public, law enforcement, academics, politicians, public health agencies, and the media. An interdisciplinary approach is needed to fully understand and appreciate the many facets related to firearms. Firearm related issues cover more than mere ownership and possession. School shootings and mass shootings dominate the headlines and cause fear for both parents and students. Firearm regulation and licensing divide politicians and create solid one issue voting blocks. Firearms used in domestic violence incidents and weapons owned and used by the mentally ill generate more victims than solutions. The marketing, messaging, and purchasing of firearms are all shaped by a variety of criminological, sociological, and psychological forces used to influence commercial behavior. This book combines academics in the fields of criminology, psychology, sociology, philosophy, economics, communications with practical experts with law enforcement, military, management, forensics, public health, medicine, and digital forensics backgrounds. This multidisciplinary approach has been brought together to further our understanding of firearms and their impacts on our society from every angle. Firearms will never disappear, nor will the controversy surrounding them suddenly turn into agreement. What can be accomplished however is an increased knowledge, understanding, and discussion of the complex topics involved within these debates.
What Is Free Speech?
Author: Fara Dabhoiwala
language: en
Publisher: Harvard University Press
Release Date: 2025-08-05
Fara Dabhoiwala argues that free speech, though a central democratic value, owes its origin and evolution less to high-minded ideals than to venal interests. Shaped by greed, technological change, and the insoluble challenges of slander and falsehood, free speech is inherently contradictory—both a basis of liberty and a weapon of the powerful.
