Paul Finkelman on 2A

As noted in this thread that has led back again to the 2A, a historian known particularly for his slavery writings has also written on the origins of the amendment. Useful reading, but just goes to show the limits of originalism. The text is there and it has taken a life of its own. The failure of Heller to discuss the federal power over territories etc. still is a bit disconcerting. I'd rest the individual right largely elsewhere myself. FWIW.
