Posted by Eugene Volokh: Professors' Amicus Brief Supporting Incorporation of the Second Amendment http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_07_05-2009_07_11.shtml#1247270474
(and, most immediately, supporting the petition for certiorari in NRA v. City of Chicago, in which the Court could decide on incorporation): It's available [1]here, and it's signed by Jack Balkin, Randy Barnett, Michael Kent Curtis, Michael Lawrence, and Adam Winkler. Of these, only our own Randy Barnett is known as a general pro-gun-rights from the conservative or libertarian (in his case, of course libertarian) camp, though Lawrence might also be a [2]left libertarian (I don't know him as well as I know the others). On the other hand, Balkin is a noted liberal. Curtis is also a liberal, though one with a lower public profile (but to my knowledge highly respected among law professors, and certainly highly respected by me, as a legal historian). Winkler is a liberal, a prominent critic of the Heller decision, and a supporter of the constitutionality of the D.C. gun ban -- he had filed a brief, together with Erwin Chemerinsky, on D.C.'s side in Heller.
