Whether newly-freed slaves could be trusted to own firearms was in
great dispute in 1866, and the ramifications of this issue
reverberate in today's "gun-control" debate. This is the only
comprehensive study ever published on the intent of the framers of
the Fourteenth Amendment and of Reconstruction-era civil rights
legislation to protect the right to keep and bear arms. Indeed,
this is the most detailed study ever published about the intent of
the Fourteenth Amendment to incorporate and to protect from state
violation any of the rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, even
including free speech. Paradoxically, the Second Amendment is
virtually the only Bill of Rights guarantee not recognized by the
federal courts as protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. Through
legislative and historical records generated during the
Reconstruction epoch (1866-1876), Halbrook shows the intent of the
Fourteenth Amendment and of civil rights legislation to guarantee
full and equal rights to blacks, including the right to keep and
bear arms.
