Abstract

This Amicus brief summarizes the historic case for applying the Bill of Rights guarantees, including the right to bear arms in the Second Amendment, to state and local governments. History supports application by way of the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Amici do not address gun control generally, the validity of the local government act involved in this case, or the scrutiny that should be applied to gun regulation.
