VIRTUAL - Colloquium: Localism, Popular Constitutionalism, Preemption, and Firearms

April 24, 2020 • 9:00 AM • See description

Whether we are speaking of the March for Our Lives students' remarkable amicus brief in NYSRPA v. NYC, or the recent phenomenon of "Second Amendment Sanctuaries," issues of popular mobilization, preemption, localism, and gun law and politics have been in the news lately. The Center for Firearms Law is sponsoring a discussion among scholars on these topics, with the aim of getting some analytical traction on the issues, and understanding them in the larger theoretical context. Event is by invitation only. A link will be sent to invitees to participate. Sponsored by Center for Firearms Law. For more information, please contact Jacob Charles at Jacob.charles@law.duke.edu.
