Scholarly Article: Blocher, Joseph. "The Right Not To Keep Or Bear Arms.


The Second Amendment is spoken many times in this Blocher Joseph journal. The article is a scholarly journal which have been looked over by his peers and his colleagues for accuracy and to make sure it not a bias article. This Article asks whether the Second Amendment should likewise be read to incorporate both the right to keep or bear arms for self-defense and the inverse right to protect oneself by avoiding arms, and what practical implications they would have for both sides of the argument. The article also talks about the “Core” and "Central Component" of the Second Amendment which is self-defense which is mostly exerted in the home. I would use this article to argue my topic in the matter of how we have been bearing arms to protect our homes and families since the Second Amendment was signed on the Constitution, and we cant take it away because it would leave a lot of people unsafe in the world.

An Unsteady Finger on Gun Control Laws.
The popular magazine that I decides to go with was by Persky, Anna Stolle. The article reports that handgun control laws in the U.S. are being challenged throughout the country based on the Second Amendment that protects the right of an individual to possess a firearm for private use inside the home. Jonathan E. Lowy, director of the legal action project at the Washington D.C.-based Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said there have been at least 20 challenges to several state and federal gun laws.
I will use this popular magazine to before my scholarly article to get people to se the popularity of my topic, and how it is a very important part of our lives. Then I would use my scholarly article to back up the information in the magazine.
