Book Description

ISBN-10: 0962366471 | ISBN-13: 978-0962366475 | Publication Date: December 21, 2007 | Edition: 1ST

A concise history of the Second Amendment that traces every term and phrase of this much disputed provision to their AMERICAN roots and earliest authors. All details of the Second Amendment's terms and development are explained and thoroughly documented in this brand new book. The author, David E. Young, relies on his own published document collection, The Origin of the Second Amendment (extensively cited in recent U.S. Courts of Appeals decisions), as the source for documentation in The Founders' View. For decades there has been a pressing need for a simple and straightforward explanation of the Second Amendment that is consitent with ALL of the historical evidence available. The Founders' View of the Right to Bear Arms provides a crystal clear understanding of the Second Amendment sought by so many for so long. The Founders' View presents exactly that - the understanding of those who developed and implemented the U.S. Bill of Rights and its Second Amendment provision. This new volume examines only the most relevant information regarding the statements, actions, and persons directly responsible for the formation of the Bill of Rights and its second provision. The Founders' View presents a number of facts about the Second Amendment not previously described or understood. The fundamental and expansive nature of the individual rights protected by the Second Amendment are clearly presented and documented. For those interested in the complete and documented historical facts that conclusively settle the Second Amendment intent controversy, the Founders' View of the Right to Bear Arms provides a most informative and easy read.

This review is from: The Founders' View of the Right to Bear Arms: A Definitive History of the Second Amendment (Hardcover)

The Founders' View of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is a remarkable work by David E. Young. It covers thoughly the time before the Revolutionary War, during, and after, cited by actual researched documents from the time. How could the current anti-gun point of view be so wrong?

The colonies declared independence from Britain, established a Constitution, but each state of the union had to ratify the Constitution in the First Congress to establish our form of government. That would only happen if a bill of rights was addded to the US Constitution similar to the states' bill of rights to protect individuals from government infringement of peoples' rights.
