Sanford V. Levinson, professor of law, University of Texas
THAT EVERY MAN BE ARMED provides indefatigable research into the second amendment, and all serious scholars will eternally be in its debt

Daniel D. Polsby, professor of law, Northwestern University
Halbrook's pathbreaking book has inaugurated modern second amendment scholarship, and no research can overlook THAT EVERY MAN BE ARMED.

Book Description
This book traces the evolution of the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution---the "right to bear arms"---from ancient Greece and Rome through the "freemen" movement in 18th century France and England to the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and the adoption of the Bill of Rights. Halbrook assembles a systematic interpretation of state and federal legal opinions and Supreme Court decisions. His research shows that the right to bear arms is as fundamental a right under the U.S. Constitution as freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
