The Confused Constitution G.X. Larson In 2008 the Supreme Court of the United States decided its first major Second Amendment case in about 70 years. The Second Amendment reads: "A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." To the uninitiated, the wording of the amendment does not provide an entirely clear meaning: the "people" have the right to keep and bear arms, but who are the "people"?; does the word "militia" refer to the people?; the said right shall not be infringed, but then how are the people/militia to be well regula.

There are two plausible meanings of . Good primer Not a bad addition, a fairly cool analysis to an overheated debate item. The author will probably not please many people, as he concludes that the constitution really does not say a whole lot about modern gun restrictions, taking swipes at both pro and anti gun arguments. This book is short and not particularly in-depth on references.

From Publishers Weekly For Harvard Law professor Tushnet, the long-lived culture war over the Second Amendment is less about the Constitution than "how we understand ourselves as Americans." That said, the lion's share of the book is dedicated to a penetrating textual analysis of the Second Amendment, "the right to bear arms," one of the most vociferously and inconclusively argued aspects of the U.S. Both sides are unyielding on their respective viewpoints: gun rights advocates rely on "originalist" Constitutional interpretation, invoking the founders' original intention to provide a means of defense against government oppression; gun control supporters argue from a collective rights perspective, looking at gun ownership
