For The Defense of Themselves And The State: The Original Intent &

  - Hollowbrook Publishing, Durango, Colorado - ISBN 0-89341-723-8
  Cloth $37.50 / ISBN 0-89341-731-9 Paper $18.50.  Beginning with its
  origins in the turbulence of the English Civil War, Cramer traces the
  development of "the right of the people to keep and bear arms"
  through the Constitutional Convention, the ratification debates in
  the several states that followed, and its progress through Congress
  as a part of the Bill of Rights.  _For The Defense Of Themselves And
  The State_ is a comprehensive look at the circumstances and concerns
  that motivated the addition of the Second Amendment to the U.S.
  Constitution.  Most disturbingly, he brings to light state supreme
  court decisions that show that many gun control laws were frankly
  stated as instruments of racial and ethnic control over blacks,
  recent immigrants, and labor organizers -- and when existing
  precedents proved inconvenient, they were misquoted, miscited, and
  simply ignored by many courts.  The format is 6" x 8.75".  521 pages.
