Donations to Academics for the Second Amendment

Over at Dave Hardy's Arms and the Law, one commenter asked if he should send contributions to Academics for the Second Amendment to help with the work that we are doing.

To those of you who are wondering: yes.

Academics for the Second Amendment
Post Office Box 131254
St. Paul, MN 55113
Remember: once we win this case, we then have to fight the next set of questions:

1. Why are national parks allowed to ban loaded handguns? (When visiting Yellowstone, I see no reason why grizzly bears should be allowed to consider me lunch.)

2. Is the Second Amendment's protections incorporated against the states through the Fourteenth Amendment?

3. The 1986 ban on new machine gun manufacturing--is that a violation of the Second Amendment? I suspect that we're never going to get machine guns unregulated (and maybe I'm not completely upset about that), but even recognizing a regulated right to them would be worthwhile.

4. Does incorporation through the Fourteenth Amendment require states to recognize other state concealed carry permits?

5. If there is an individual right incorporated through the Fourteenth Amendment, does this require states to allow open carry, or licensed concealed carry, or does it blow away license requirements completely?

These are all legitimate questions, and it may take another twenty years to get these questions answered.

UPDATE: PayPal donates can be made here.
