Firearms Law and the Second Amendment
Professor George A. Mocsary's book, Firearms Law and the Second Amendment: Regulation, Rights, and Policy, has been released by Aspen Publishing.
This is the first traditional law school casebook to cover the subject, and the only casebook that provides a comprehensive treatment since the Supreme Court affirmed the constitutional right to private firearms in 2008 and extended that right to constrain state action in 2010. Aspen Publishing
