Subject: RESEARCH: Halbrook on 14th Amendment & RKBA (1982 Senate Report)


Mark Fuller has put Stephen Halbrook's article "The Fourteenth 
Amendment and the  Right to Keep and Bear Arms: the Intent of the
Framers" into electronic form.  This article was included in the 
1982 U.S. Senate Report on the Second Amendment.  It is a revision 
of Professor Halbrook's 1981 George Mason Law Review article.  

Halbrook documents how restrictions on black firearms ownership 
after the civil war prompted the development of the Fourteenth 
Amendment.  (Generally speaking the Fourteenth Amendment says 
states can't violate your constitutional rights.)  Mark notes 
that "Halbrook has a lot more detail on this topic in his Spring 
1995 Const. Law Journal, v.5, p. 341."

This article is presented with the permission of Professor Halbrook.
