I'm quite impressed by this piece on the NY Review of Books by Gary Wills. It's the most thorough take-down of the shoddy Second Amendment Scholarship now prevalent that it's a pity that it didn't get more traction when it was written...almost two decades ago. The whole thing repays a careful read, and even the exchange that Wills has with the other authors is quite informative, though (justifiably!) snarky.
This is a nice graphical summary of violence in America. It got a good deal of play thanks to Ezra Klein's derived blogging about it in the Post.
Some nice scatter plots of gun deaths vs. gun ownership internationally.
A great report, featuring a series of graphs about gun violence in the OECD. It's a UK production.
A short post in the Atlantic by Jonathan Stray with some key information on gun violence in the U.S.
A list of all the provisions from the various States' Bills of Rights bearing some relation to the Second Amendment. Really happy this is out there.
That's all for now. The talk is basically done. Just tweaking it and preparing the slide show.
