Conversation Series: “About the Second Amendment”

REGISTER

The “right to keep and bear arms” in the Second Amendment is one of the most commonly cited phrases in any conversation concerning gun safety and ownership. But the citation, and the Second Amendment itself, is often misused and misunderstood.

On Thursday, January 23, 2024, at 7 p.m., Professors Joseph Blocher and Darrell Miller, authors of The Positive Second Amendment and co-founders of the Duke Center for Firearms Law, will take us through the origins of the Second Amendment, as well as its journey through the courts and public perception to where we are today.

Nonpolitical, balanced and fact-based, this webinar will help attendees to understand what the Second Amendment is and is not, the intentions and factors that went into its creation, and how and why it has changed over the centuries. Informational and educational, this presentation is appropriate for anyone with an interest in American history, conversations about gun safety or the facts about this key amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Registration is open.

This webinar is part of the conversation series offerings from the diocesan Gun Violence Prevention Task Force.
