In Search of the Second Amendment: a review
4 September 2007Some time ago, David T Hardy sent a copy of In Search of the Second Amendment to me for review. I watched it right away, but I have been remiss in my duty of making a review public; this post is my effort at correcting this omission. Short review: if the history of the Constitution if of interest to you, this is worthwhile. I’m not sure of the value in terms of direct advocacy; most people won’t sit down and watch a nearly two hour movie on a topic that they disagree with. The true value lies in allowing you to make better arguments for your positions. If you’re pro-RKBA, you should pick up a copy and give it a spin. It’s well-researched; the interviews with lawyers offering interpretations of English law are insightful. Personally, I was entirely unaware of the English history of RKBA. Wikipedia offers an outline of the contents, if you’re on the fence about ordering it. A copy is well worth your money if you’re interested in the history of the Constitution, our rights as recognized by such, and the debate about interpretations in the time since it was ratified.
