Title: Armed with the truth for a change
Product review: This book seeks to balance two predominant schools of thought regarding the Second Amendment: The individualist school and the collective rights school. Uviller and Merkel's thesis is that the right to bear arms was an individual right, but only within a collective context of service in a state sanctioned, regulated and disciplined militia. The book has it right. Uviller and Merkel are well researched. This book is not a polemical such as Halbrook's "That Every Man Be Armed" - it is historical scholarship. A must read for anyone who seeks a scholarly and objective, as well as balanced approach to the understanding of the Second Amendment.
