Michigan Court: University Firearms Ban ‘Consistent With the Second Amendment’ [More]
Maybe not with the Second Amendment, but inconveniently, consistent with Jefferson and Madison. Evidently, they wanted to minimize dueling.
What the crowing antis don’t tell us is that the rule was not a law with criminal penalties, but instead, violations could result in “minor punishments at the discretion of the Faculty, or of the board of Censors, approved by the Faculty.”
Still, if we’re talking historical context, I’m not seeing a way around this “Gotcha!” except to make a different argument entirely.
That said, if anyone does see a way around it, that’s why we have “Comments” here.
