The Trump administration is making another move to advance and protect our Second Amendment rights, and this time it doesn't involve the Justice Department or subordinate agencies like the ATF.
Instead, it's the Department of Education that's taking a bold step to help ensure that students across the country can learn about the right to keep and bear arms, from its origin in 1791 to the ongoing legal efforts to secure and strengthen that right.
The DoE is providing the University of Wyoming's College of Law's Firearms Research Center with a new grant to help provide teachers access to primary source material, instructional videos to share in the classroom, and the opportunity to learn from and engage with 2A scholars through both webinars and an in-person conference.
“The doctrinal complexity of the Second Amendment is too often obscured by divisive discourse,” says UW College of Law Professor George Mocsary, the Firearms Research Center’s director and co-author of the first-ever law casebook on the Second Amendment, “Firearms Law and the Second Amendment: Regulation, Rights, and Policy.” “We seek to provide a much-needed apolitical approach to an otherwise politically charged topic, emphasizing the legal and civic origins of the right to bear arms, connecting it to the early principles of the nation’s founding and examining its evolving role, through legal interpretation, in American culture over time.”
... The primary goals are to enhance educators’ understanding of the historical development and constitutional framework of the Second Amendment; build educators’ capacity to teach difficult constitutional topics; and expand access to primary-source resources.
“Our project will honor the nation’s 250th anniversary by allowing educators to engage with the complexity and nuance of the country’s founding documents,” Firearms Research Center Executive Director Ashley Hlebinsky says. “As the nation approaches its semiquincentennial, the ability to not only possess an intellectually rigorous grasp of constitutional text, structure and jurisprudence, but also to respectfully discuss and debate with those who possess a range of beliefs, has never been greater.”
