Previous email to Alabama constitutional law professors
The Constitution creates a government under the rule of law, the use of arms against the Federal government is inconsistent with such concept of a government by rule of law set up by the Constitution, and it is dubious that the courts would hold that the 2nd Amendment gives citizens a right to use arms against the Federal government and hold, for example, that the Federal government is prohibited by the 2nd Amendment from defending itself and disarming the citizens who are using arms against the Federal government.

"Law profs claim lack of gun control fueling "small arms race" https://t.co/fix94HtxZY
BROOKS: Well, let's, for emphasis, understand what the Second Amendment is about. The Second Amendment is designed to help ensure that we, the citizenry, always have the right to take back our government should it become dictatorial. That was a great fear of the Founding Fathers and, quite frankly, it's a fear today.And as long as we enjoy un-infringed Second Amendment rights, then we don't really have to worry that much about the government ever becoming dictatorial. But the moment that we take from our citizenry our ability to take our government back is the moment that the ability of dictatorial forces increases to the point where perhaps they will try to implement a dictatorial government at the federal level.So I want to protect the Second Amendment right to bear arms. The amendment is very clear. It says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. If there are proposals out there that guarantee the rights of the American people to freely exercise their Second Amendment right to bear and keep arms, then I'll consider them.But if you're talking about depriving people of their Second Amendment right to bear arms -- well, first, it's unconstitutional. So you're going to have to address that with a constitutional amendment, and we'll see how Congress and the states react to that kind of measure.
3. Democrats want to ‘redefine the Second Amendment’U.S. Representative Jerry Carl (R-Mobile) recently spoke about the effort by Democrats to push for gun control, and he stated, “They’re trying to redefine the Second Amendment. They’re trying to say it was written back when there were muskets, and there weren’t automatic weapons. Therefore, semi-automatic weapons shouldn’t apply to the Second Amendment.”Carl said he disagreed with this stance. He argued, “The Second Amendment was written for us not only to be able to protect our families and our homes. It was also so written so we could protect ourselves from a rogue government.”
6/21/22The Insurrection Act of 1807 provides additional support for my contention that 2nd Amendment doesn't give citizens a right to bear arms against the government. I will add it to my file on this.https://t.co/6H4Rl8yIEO

More than 80 amicus briefs were filed in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, the major Second Amendment challenge to a New York law that requires people to show “proper cause” for a license to carry a concealed handgun in public. The briefs come from professors, politicians, states, cities, and interest groups from across the ideological spectrum. We reviewed them all, identified some of the most noteworthy and novel arguments, and summarized them in the guide below.Additionally consider contacting one or more of the Alabama constitutional law professors whom I have copied on my emails (including on this email), and maybe they will help you in how you try to explain the SCOTUS decision to your viewers.
