Editorial Reviews: Product Description Stephen Halbrook's The Founders' Second Amendment is the first book-length account of the origins of the Second Amendment, based on the Founders' own statements as found in newspapers, correspondence, debates, and resolutions. Mr. Halbrook investigates the period from 1768 to 1826, from the last years of British rule and the American Revolution through to the adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and the passing of the Founders' generation. His book offers the most comprehensive analysis of the arguments behind the drafting and adoption of the Second Amendment, and the intentions of the men who created it. With the question of the right to bear arms scheduled to come before the Supreme Court in the spring of 2008, The Founders' Second Amendment could scarcely be more timely.

Customer Reviews: Read 3 more reviews... Halbrook is a true scholar December 28, 2008 Halbrook has again proven himself to be a thorough scholar. This book is a well-researched and documented treatise on the right to bear arms as viewed abd described by the nation's founders. I encourage all readers (for or against gun rights or on the fence) to study this book. Mandatory Reading for all US Citizens!!!!! December 21, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book is well written & shows not only our historical roots, but also what the founding fathers meant when they added the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. It was not frivilous words - they meant citizens to be able to rein-in an over-grown, out-of-control government that is taxing us & our grandchildren too much. more guns, less crime. December 15, 2008 10 out of 10 found this review helpful A great read for those who want the facts on the Second Amendment. Loads of ammo to shut down those who cry for gun control, yet have no idea why it is our right to bear arms. Must read for anyone November 24, 2008 14 out of 15 found this review helpful This book is a must read for anyone interested in our countries history and or how we started down the road to the 2nd Admendment. Well written and backed with facts and stories to make the history come alive. Great Reading November 3, 2008 11 out of 15 found this review helpful I love this book and believe it is a required read for all conscience citizens.
