Guns and the Constitution is subject of talk
Paul Finkelman, Ph.D., a Pennsylvania college president, will discuss the origins of the Second Amendment at 4:15 p.m. on Thursday, April 5 at the law college.The talk is free and open to the public.
The title of his talk is “Did James Madison really think you should own an AR-15, a bump stock or an assault rifle? The original meaning of the Second Amendment.”
He will explain how the Second Amendment was not intended to protect an individual’s right to own a firearm but was about a “well-regulated militia.” However, people still have a right to go hunting, according to Finkelman.
He is president of Gratz College in Melrose, Pa. Finkelman is the author of more than 200 scholarly articles and the author or editor of more than 50 books.
