Edwards, Sweeney and Cornell on Early American Gun Regulation

Over at its Second Thoughts Blog, the Duke Center for Firearms Law ran a series of guest posts “from leading historians weighing in on topics of firearms and gun regulation in early America.”  The introduction is here.  The posts are Weapons and the Peace, by Laura F. Edwards; In Search of Repeating Firearms in Eighteenth-Century America, by Kevin M. Sweeney; and Founding Fantasies vs. Historical Realities in the Second Amendment Debate, by Saul Cornell.
