Subject: Critique of Second Amend Ratified to Protect Slavery
David Kopel’s 1998 article, “The Second Amendment in the Nineteenth Century,”
in 1998 B.Y.U. L. Rev. 1359 is an excellent rebuttal to Bogus’ theory that the
Second Amendment was ratified to protect slavery. The article is a long and
thorough historical review. The material on Bogus’ theory starts at p. 1515
(fn. 647).
Bogus’ piece is at 31 U.C. Davis Law Review 309 (1998). It turns a relatively
obscure, constitutionally incorrect, and unimportant point in the debate into
the centerpiece of the amendment. If anyone comes up with any additional
material, please share.
Thanks to all who responded.
