The Origin of the Second Amendment: A Documentary History of the Bill of Rights in Commentaries on Liberty, Free Government & an Armed Populace 1787-1792

Book on the origin of the second amendment. 1787-1792 second edition edited by David E. Young

This is a tour de force in revealing the intentions of the founders as they struggled to come up with a Bill of Rights. It dispels many of the knee jerk notions of anti 2nd Amendment writers as the founders clearly knew the dangers of an oppressive government and took measures to allow the people some resources in the event that history repeated itself. An outstanding work that should be in the library of every Constitutionalist.
