Guns/Second Amendment
Professor Bogus has written and spoken extensively on the topics of gun control and the Second Amendment.
Here are links to some of his notable works.
"The Hidden History of the Second Amendment" - 31 U.C. Davis Law Review 309 (1998)
This article argues that James Madison wrote the Second Amendment to assure his constituents in Virginia, and the South as a whole, that the federal government could not disarm the state militia, which were the prime instruments for slave control in the South.
"Gun Control and America's Cities: Public Policy and Politics" - 1 Albany Government Law Review 440 (2008)
This article argues that data suggest that the only form of gun control that may be effective in reducing gun-related crime are measures that reduce the numbers of handguns in general circulation.
"Heller and Insurrectionism" 59 Syracuse Law Review 255 (2008)
This article pleads with the Supreme Court to repudiate insurrectionism -- the supposed right of Americans to be armed to go to war with the own government -- as a rationale for the individual right to bear arms.
"How Gun Control Got Murdered" The American Prospect, August 30, 2011 (Review of Gunfight by Adam Winkler)
