Few constitutional disputes maintain as powerful a grip on the public mind as the        battle over the Second Amendment. The National Rifle Association and gun-control        groups struggle unceasingly over a piece of the political landscape that no        candidate for the presidency--and few for Congress--can afford to ignore. But who's        right? Will it ever be possible to settle the argument?In Out of Range, one of the        nation's leading legal scholars takes a calm, objective look at this bitter debate.          Mark V. Tushnet brings to this book a deep expertise in the Constitution, the        Supreme Court, and the role of the law in American life. He breaks down the        different positions on the Second Amendment, showing that it is a mistake to        stereotype them. Tushnet's exploration is honest and nuanced; he finds the        constitutional arguments finely balanced, which is one reason the debate has raged        for so long. Along the way, he examines various experiments in public policy, from        both sides, and finds little clear evidence for the practical effectiveness of any        approach to gun safety and prosecution. Of course, he notes, most advocates of the        right to keep and bear arms agree that it should be subject to reasonable        regulation. Ultimately, Tushnet argues, our view of the Second Amendment reflects        our sense of ourselves as a people. The answer to the debate will not be found in        any holy writ, but in our values and our vision of the nation.This compact, incisive        examination offers an honest and thoughtful guide to both sides of the argument,        pointing the way to solutions that could calm, if not settle, this bitter        dispute.
