Hi Folks,
I'm taking a law class this fall, and our end of term assignment is a research paper on a Supreme Court case. Generally, it has to be on an environmental or safety disaster, but we're allowed other topics subject to professor approval. He's already indicated he has a fairly liberal acceptance policy providing it was a major US Supreme Court decision that had a major impact on the nation.
Being something of a gun nut, I'd like to do the project on guns.
So, my question to you is this: What cases would you recommend? Of course, DC vs Heller jumps out into my head, because it's a very recent one. However, that's of some concern to me, since the fallout from that one may not be as broad as I'd like for ease of research.
What others are out there that would be good? I'd really enjoy something regarding the Gun Control Acts of 1968 or 1934, but I'm very open. What would you folks suggest? If there's interest, I'd be happy to post the results of my research paper on the forum after I write it and it's been graded.
Thanks folks!
