- From the New Republic, Saul Cornell (Fordham University) on "The Second-Amendment Case for Gun Control."
- Second Thoughts, the blog of the Center for Firearms Law at Duke University, is running a mini-symposium on the new book Guns in Law (University of Massachusetts Press), edited by Austin Sarat, Lawrence Douglas, and Martha Merril Umphrey, with contributions by the editors and by Carl T. Bogus, Jennifer Carlson, Saul Cornell, Darrell A.H. Miller, Laura Beth Nielsen, and Katherine Shaw. Several posts are already available.
- It would also be worth revisiting the series of posts that SHEAR's Panorama ran last summer/fall, as part of its roundtable on "engaging America's gun culture." Contributions include David Silverman (George Washington University), "Shot through with Contradictions: Reflections on Native America, Guns, and the Modern United States"; Alison LaCroix (University of Chicago), "Historical Semantics and the Meaning of the Second Amendment"; Lindsay Schakenbach Regele (Miami University), "Regulation, Not Rights: The History of Government Gun Culture in the Early Republic"; and Saul Cornell, "Bearing Arms vs. Hunting Bears: The Persistence of a Mythic Second Amendment in Contemporary Constitutional Culture."
- Via Twitter, John Fabian Witt (Yale Law) reminded us of the current relevance of Reva Siegel's 2008 Harvard Law Review article "Dead or Alive: Originalism as Popular Constitutionalism in Heller."
