Headlines announce the daily toll of gun deaths and injuries throughout the United States, and court decisions continue to assess how the Constitution’s Second Amendment restricts the choices available to lawmakers to counteract these harms. This lecture will cover the state of contemporary Second Amendment law, with a focus on how the Supreme Court’s recent decisions affect different areas of gun regulation, from firearms licensing laws and prohibitions on gun possession for certain individuals to the locations where government can permissibly outlaw guns and the types of weapons government can prohibit.
