Robert Spitzer
Robert Spitzer, Distinguished Service Professor emeritus of political science, is the author of a new book published by Oxford University Press. Titled, The Gun Dilemma: How History is Against Expanded Gun Rights, the book examines the new, more aggressive gun rights movement that has resulted in an expansion of Second Amendment rights by the Supreme Court in 2022. Through an exploration of a gun past that is mostly unknown, forgotten, or distorted, the book demonstrates that gun regulations were the default in America’s early history, a lesson that resonates with the contemporary effort to expand gun rights. Among the subjects examined are assault weapons, ammunition magazines, silencers, public gun carrying, and the Second Amendment sanctuary movement. This book is Spitzer’s 16th, and sixth on gun policy.
