Saul Cornell on Stanford Review
Posted by David Hardy · 21 July 2006 09:30 AM
Below, I'd mentioned the Stanford Review of Law and Policy. Just got an email from Prof. Cornell about it:
As far as Stanford goes, I did invite Bob Cottrol who was supposed to attend but had to back out quite close to the event. The conference did include Abby Kohn and Jim Jacobs, two prominent skeptics of gun control. The suggestion that the conference was one sided is really not correct. It is also worth pointing out that Adam Winkler's essay begins with the assumption that 2nd Amendment protects an individual right. While Kohn and Jacobs did not contribute essays, Winkler's is one of the most important in the volume.
Having read Kohn's book and traded a few emails with her, I hardly consider her a staunch defender of the Standard Model 2nd Amendment. She wants a "historic compromise" which I consider to be nothing short of an historic sellout.
