This book] provides the kind of scholarly resource that educated
citizens need to think for themselves, a rich digest of primary
sources documenting--in their own words--the views, motives, and
intentions of the Framers, historic commentators, legislators, and
judiciary who have debated the right to keep and bear arms from the
origins of our republic. "Preston K. Covey, Carnegie Mellon
University "
Beginning with its origins in the English Civil War, Clayton
Cramer traces the development in the United States of the right to
keep and bear arms--through the Constitutional Convention, the
ratification debates that followed, its inclusion by Congress in
the Bill of Rights, to the present controversy over gun control.
This book provides important background, analysis, documentation,
and perspective for the ongoing national debate over arms.
