On Gun Laws, We Must Get the History Right

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2015/10/wrenn_v_d_c_gun_case_turns_on_english_laws_of_1328_and_1689.html

Oddly enough, medieval English laws matter in legal debates about gun control in the United States today. The Supreme Court’s landmark 2008 Second Amendment decision, District of Columbia v. Heller, determined that sufficiently “long-standing” firearms regulations are constitutional. This means that in Second Amendment cases, we have to get our English history right.
