LAW 7240 - Second Amendment and Weapons Regulation
Credits: 2
Explores the right to keep and bear arms as a matter of law, as well as how society regulates and enforces access to personal weapons. Examines how gun rights and regulation intersect with lawful self-defense. Covers the foundational Second Amendment case, District of Columbia v. Heller; key lower court opinions; and the broader historical, political, and theoretical debates in which they are embedded. While the dominant focus is on the U.S., the seminar also draws comparisons with the regulatory approaches in other countries. (*updated* 11/3/2020; effective spring 2021)
