Supreme Court's Gun Cases Posted Online
Six years of research into firearm decisions by the Supreme Court is now available on the web at gunlaws.com.
Completed by three nationally recognized gun-law scholars, David Kopel, Stephen
P. Halbrook and Alan Korwin, a comprehensive section of their groundbreaking
book, "Supreme Court Gun Cases," published by Phoenix-based Bloomfield Press,
can now be referenced without cost at the company's website.
The widely held belief that the High Court has said little about guns is
inaccurate. Their decisions use the word "gun" or related terms such as rifle,
handgun, shotgun, pistol, machinegun and similar more than 2,900 times, in more
than 90 cases, spanning nearly two centuries.
All the cases have been summarized with respect to the gun issues they address,
and these are posted with complete case citations. The book itself contains the
actual decisions, and provides plain-English analysis and essays on the Court's
activity in this politically charged field.
More than a dozen of the cases deal with the controversial issue of guns used
in self defense, one of the surprising discoveries of the research. Those cases
had been "lost" to the public debate for decades. Many read like novels, with
lovers climbing through bedroom windows, Wild West shootouts, a mutiny, corrupt
judges, conspiracies, mob ambushes, drunken brawls, drug busts, family feuds,
cattle rustlers and international criminals.
Sixty of the cases were decided after the famous 1939 "U.S. v. Miller" case
frequently cited by gun-control and gun-rights advocates. The most recent case
posted is "U.S. v. Bean" from 2002, in which a U.S. citizen lost his right to
arms for an arrest for bringing ammunition into Mexico.
Two subsequent gun-related cases, "Small" (2003) and "Castle Rock" (2005) will
be posted soon.
