Robert Spitzer, Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus, Political Science, has been informed that his new book has been accepted for publication by Oxford University Press. The book, Gun Law History: How Three-Hundred Years of Weapons Laws Built the Nation, brings together, for the first time, the full panoply of types of old weapons laws, numbering in the thousands, spanning the period from the 1600s to the early 1900s. The book frames the analysis in the context of America as a developing nation-state. It also demonstrates that the Supreme Court’s recent history-based interpretation of America’s gun laws is entirely wrong.
