<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associate Prof. Jennifer Tucker wrote an op-ed for CNN<\/a> recently that argued certain modern firearms are too lethal to be carried outside the home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tucker, a professor of history at Wesleyan University, pointed to a 1964 study of weapon lethality across time called the \u201cTheoretical Lethality Index” (TLI) to make her case.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAccording to the study,\u201d she writes, \u201ca colonial soldier with an 18th century flintlock musket could kill 43 people in an hour, while a soldier in the Civil War era using a rifle with the Minie ball (a conoidal bullet adopted by the US Army in 1855) could kill 102 people in an hour. The TLI continued to rise dramatically in the late 19th century with the introduction of breech loading rifles, metal cartridges, magazines, and automatic fire machine guns. A soldier with a Springfield Model 1903 magazine rifle could kill 495 people per hour: more than a tenfold increase over the 18th century musket.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She suggests that if the founders and framers of the Constitution were aware of the \u201cpace of [firearm] innovation\u201d following the Civil War, 70 some years after the Constitution was ratified, they may have placed restrictions on the one\u2019s right to keep and bear arms.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWeapons designed with an ever-increasing capacity to kill large numbers of people in battle, with long barrels and large-capacity magazines, have no place in public spaces, supermarkets, and shopping malls — not on the grounds of a generic right to self-defense,\u201d Tucker asserts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tucker believes that the Supreme Court ought to consider this rationale on Nov. 3 when it hears the case, NYSRPA v. Bruen<\/a><\/em>, examining New York\u2019s may-issue licensing scheme that presumptively denies one\u2019s 2A rights unless they provide to the state a \u201cproper cause\u201d for defensive carry.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEE ALSO: New Study Proves Too Much Gun Control Far More Deadly Than Too Little<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen it takes up this new gun case, the Court should take technological innovation into account and acknowledge that guns are now exponentially more lethal than they were when the Constitution was written,” she contends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anti-gunners have been making this argument for decades<\/a>.  But it doesn\u2019t pass the smell test.  For an obvious reason.  The 2A wasn\u2019t just enshrined to protect an individual\u2019s right to self-defense, rather it was also put in there as a bulwark against government tyranny.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that in order to have a fighting chance against the rise of a despotic regime all capable and law-abiding citizens must have at least as much access to small arms as the government does.  The playing field must be as level as possible to maintain a balance of power between the citizenry and its government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

History has taught us what happens when that balance gets thrown out of whack.  Tens of millions of people become victims of democide, aka death at the hands of government.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As law professor David Kopel explains in his acclaimed 2018 textbook, Firearms Law and the Second Amendment<\/a><\/em>, \u201cThe global historical evidence shows that too much gun control is much more dangerous than too little gun control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDisorganized criminals can kill a lot of people, but criminal governments are far more deadly, by about two orders of magnitude,\u201d he continues. \u201cTherefore, any society that accepts the government being stronger than people is, in the long run, creating the conditions for a manmade disaster of the deadliest sort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom line, the litmus test for carrying guns in public should be as simple as this: if they can bear it down main street, so can we. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
