Arm yourself with the facts at the excellent, new, online, gun-rights, resource site "Firearms, Violence, and the Second Amendment" that is now available from the Independent Institute. The site features hundreds of articles, books, and videos that defend Second Amendment rights, including the work of Second Amendment legal scholar and attorney Stephen P. Halbrook (Research Fellow, The Independent Institute).
Here, also, is Dr. Halbrook's new article, "Armed School Guards Are Our Best Bet to Stop Future Newtowns," that is being published by McClatchy Newspapers across the U.S.
Below are Dr. Halbrook's authoritative books on the Second Amendment. These books are essential reading for all gun-rights defenders and were crucial to the decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court in the landmark Heller and McDonald cases:
