There is currently a very important case before the Supreme Court regarding the Second Amendment.
The first step in your analysis assignment is to read up on this case. There are a couple posts on the blog from the optional days, and I also recommend just going to Google news and searching.
Address the following questions in an analysis of 200-400 words. How would one argue in favor of each of the three positions on the issue? The three are: 1) upholding gun bans, 2) denying the DC gun ban while permitting “reasonable restrictions” on gun ownership, and 3) the strict position that says the government cannot regulate gun ownership at all.
So, explain the constitutional argument of each one. Then, tell me which position you think is best and WHY you think it is the correct constitutional view.
Turn in a typed copy in class no later than Thursday.
