The Gun Debate's Forgotten History
When the Supreme Court ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller in 2008 that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to own firearms for self-defense, it wasn't simply interpreting an ancient text-it was validating a constitutional revolution decades in the making. Those famous 27 words-"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"-had been largely overlooked for most of American history. How did this obscure provision transform into the centerpiece of our most contentious cultural battle? The answer reveals not just the evolution of gun rights but how constitutional meaning itself is forged through social movements, political advocacy, and judicial interpretation.
