The Founders' Second Amendment: Origins of the Right to Bear Arms

The Founders' Second Amendment by Stephen P.

Halbrook is a comprehensive account of the origins of the Second Amendment, based on the Founders' own statements as found in newspapers, correspondence, debates, and resolutions from 1768 to 1826.

This book offers the most detailed analysis of the arguments behind the drafting and adoption of the Second Amendment, and the intentions of the men who created it.

Halbrook's research reveals that the founders regarded gun control as a typical tyrannical behavior of a standing army, and they defined the right to bear arms as fundamental, second only to freedom of speech, in order to protect liberty and hinge it on free ownership.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the true intentions behind the Second Amendment and its significance in today's society.
