Aristotle considered the possession of arms a fundamental source of political power and wrote that tyrants \"mistrust the people and deprive them of their arms.\" Today ownership of weapons-whether handguns or military-grade assault weapons-poses more acute legal problems than ever before. In this volume, the editors' introduction traces the history of gun control in the United States, arguing that until the 1980s courts upheld reasonable gun control measures. The contributors confront urgent questions, among them the usefulness of history as a guide in ongoing struggles over gun regulation, the changing meaning of the Second Amendment, the perspective of law enforcement on guns and gun control law, and individual and relational perspectives on gun rights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The contributors include the editors and Carl T.
