Cornell on Arms Regulation, 1328-1928

The June 2022 issue of the UC Davis Law Review includes the symposium, The 2nd Amendment at the Supreme Court: “700 Years of History” and the Modern Effects of Guns in Public.  Contributions include The Long Arc of Arms Regulation in Public: From Surety to Permitting, 1328–1928, by Saul Cornell, Fordham University:

This Article charts the six-century arc of arms regulation in public in the Anglo-American legal tradition. It summarizes existing historical scholarship, exposes historical flaws in gun rights activist writing pretending to be engaged in serious scholarly inquiry, including the dubious claims advanced in the many gun rights amicus briefs filed in Bruen, and presents new research crucial to understanding the history of gun regulation and enforcement.
