Greetings, American rednecks and hillbillies...
I am a Swedish law school student and for the next 3 weeks I'm supposed to be writing a 10 page essay on something that has to do with constitutional law. Because I'm so controversial I decided to do mine on American gun philosophy (ie legal, philosophical, pragmatic etc perspectives on it). I have a pretty good grasp of the subject but I need some help with what to put in it and how to structure it.
I was thinking of 3 sections: one with legal info about the 2A and other important laws and concepts. Also, court rulings. The second section will be about philosophy with the usual natural rights explanation and all that. Maybe also the counterweight to tyranny argument. The third section will be about pragmatics, ie demonstrating that guns have good effects in society. Here I will use John Lott Jr and Gary Kleck as sources (help needed finding more).
Maybe I should have a historical section with info on the gun laws of Hitler and other tyrants?
Any ideas? Gimme your feedback, folks...
