Last month, in the landmark District of Columbia vs. Heller case, the Supreme Court decided for the first time that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects an individual’s right to possess a firearm for private use.

Until Heller, the court held — and the ACLU agreed — that the Second Amendment protects a collective right that applies only to state-regulated militias.

Which interpretation is correct?

Join the NYCLU’s continuing Civil Liberties Discussion Series for an intriguing conversation between NYCLU Legal Director Arthur Eisenberg, Reason Magazine Associate Editor Damon Root and Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow Walter Olson about the intersection of civil liberties and guns. Should individuals have the right to bear arms? If so, is this a fundamental right guaranteed under the Constitution?
