Download or read book Weapon of Choice written by Ian Ayres and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How ordinary Americans, frustrated by the legal and political wrangling over the Second Amendment, can fight for reforms that will both respect gun owners’ rights and reduce gun violence. Efforts to reduce gun violence in the United States face formidable political and constitutional barriers. Legislation that would ban or broadly restrict firearms runs afoul of the Supreme Court’s current interpretation of the Second Amendment. And gun rights advocates have joined a politically savvy firearms industry in a powerful coalition that stymies reform. Ian Ayres and Fredrick Vars suggest a new way forward. We can decrease the number of gun deaths, they argue, by empowering individual citizens to choose common-sense gun reforms for themselves. Rather than ask politicians to impose one-size-fits-all rules, we can harness a libertarian approach—one that respects and expands individual freedom and personal choice—to combat the scourge of gun violence. Ayres and Vars identify ten policies that can be immediately adopted at the state level to reduce the number of gun-related deaths without affecting the rights of gun owners. For example, Donna’s Law, a voluntary program whereby individuals can choose to restrict their ability to purchase or possess firearms, can significantly decrease suicide rates. Amending red flag statutes, which allow judges to restrict access to guns when an individual has shown evidence of dangerousness, can give police flexible and effective tools to keep people safe. Encouraging the use of unlawful possession petitions can help communities remove guns from more than a million Americans who are legally disqualified from owning them. By embracing these and other new forms of decentralized gun control, the United States can move past partisan gridlock and save lives now.

Download or read book Ordered Liberty written by James E. Fleming and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many have argued in recent years that the U.S. constitutional system exalts individual rights over responsibilities, virtues, and the common good. Answering the charges against liberal theories of rights, James Fleming and Linda McClain develop and defend a civic liberalism that takes responsibilities and virtues—as well as rights—seriously. They provide an account of ordered liberty that protects basic liberties stringently, but not absolutely, and permits government to encourage responsibility and inculcate civic virtues without sacrificing personal autonomy to collective determination. The battle over same-sex marriage is one of many current controversies the authors use to defend their understanding of the relationship among rights, responsibilities, and virtues. Against accusations that same-sex marriage severs the rights of marriage from responsible sexuality, procreation, and parenthood, they argue that same-sex couples seek the same rights, responsibilities, and goods of civil marriage that opposite-sex couples pursue. Securing their right to marry respects individual autonomy while also promoting moral goods and virtues. Other issues to which they apply their idea of civic liberalism include reproductive freedom, the proper roles and regulation of civil society and the family, the education of children, and clashes between First Amendment freedoms (of association and religion) and antidiscrimination law. Articulating common ground between liberalism and its critics, Fleming and McClain develop an account of responsibilities and virtues that appreciates the value of diversity in our morally pluralistic constitutional democracy.

Download or read book California Gun Laws written by C. D. Michel and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you choose to have a gun in California, this book could keep you out of jail. Firearm ownership, possession, and use are individual constitutional rights that carry extraordinary responsibilities. Along with your responsibility to know and follow safety procedures, you also have increased responsibility to comply with all applicable state, federal, and local laws. Because of the complexity of these laws, inadvertent gun law violations by well-intentioned good people are increasingly common. In the politicized legal environment of California "gun-control" laws, the consequences of even an inadvertent violation can be severe. To protect yourself, you need to know the law. This book will help. This book explores, explains, and summarizes the firearm laws affecting firearm owners in California, and warns about common legal "traps" that California firearm owners often unintentionally fall into. When can you use deadly force? Who can possess a gun? When are you permitted to have a gun? Where can you have a gun? How must a gun be possessed? How do you get your gun rights back? Which guns are banned? How do you get your guns back from the police? Can you carry a gun in public? This book answers these questions, and many others. There are over 800 California state statutes regulating the manufacture, distribution, sale, possession, and use of firearms. There are thousands of overlapping federal laws regulating firearms that apply in California. And there are hundreds of administrative regulations, local ordinances, and California Department Justice Firearms Bureau written and unwritten policies that also apply. With all the overlapping regulations, its no wonder that confusion runs rampant among California gun owners, as well as among police, prosecutors, and judges. This book will inform those who are subject to California's complex firearms laws so that they can avoid inadvertently violating them, and will educate those tasked with enforcing those laws so they can avoid mistaken arrests and prosecutions. Written by C.D. "Chuck" Michel, a firearms attorney with 20 years of experience representing the NRA, as well as firearm manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and gun owners, California Gun Laws: A Guide to State and Federal Firearm Regulations is an invaluable resource.

He has litigated hundreds of firearms cases involving constitutional issues, including Second Amendment challenges, in both state and federal trial and appellate courts.
