“The GRU [Augusta State University] Political Science Club, Pre-Law Club, and Model United Nations Club are hosting a Brown Bag Event on Tuesday, March 19, 2013 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in University Hall 170 titled: RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS? – LEGAL PERSPECTIVES & COMPARATIVE POLICIES.”
I was informed too late about the event to join the panel. However, I will be present to listen and then raise a little hell. Come join the fun. apparently, some people still believe in the “collective rights” theory of the Second Amendment and will present the tired, discredited arguments – misinterpretations of a case called U.S. v. Miller (1930s) and maybe some Nazi/Communist garbage. I hope this is rhetorical and a “devil’s argument.” At any rate I will be present to actually speak for the 2A and the freedoms of We the People!
Here’s the whole program as I was emailed today:
******The GRU Political Science Club, Pre-Law Club, and Model United Nations Club are hosting a Brown Bag Event on Tuesday, March 19, 2013 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in University Hall 170 titled: RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS? – LEGAL PERSPECTIVES & COMPARATIVE POLICIES.
This event will rely on the great minds of our faculty to articulate the various constitutional interpretations of the 2nd Amendment and others to inform (not persuade) the audience. However, Hammad Sheikh, the president of the Pre-Law Club, will present comparative policies and statistics dealing with gun ownership as well. Professor Peter Flanagan, the Pre-Law Club Advisor, will explain the rationale of the “individual right” interpretation as articulated by the Supreme Court in Washington D.C. vs. Heller, and how the right was selectively incorporated to apply to the states by virtue of McDonald v. Chicago. Dr. Saundra Reinke will explain the rationale of the “collective right” interpretation as articulated by the Supreme Court in United v. Miller including how the 10 Amendment may be construed by some as the appropriate alternative to the 2nd Amendment in applying the right (or the lack thereof) to bear arms. Dr. Lance Hunter, the co-advisor of the Political Science Club, will act as the Event Moderator and will guide the discussion along in a timely manner. Each speaker will have between 5 – 8 minutes to present their information. The remaining time will be used for an open discussion on the topic between faculty and students.
Sincerely,
Ethan Holliman
GRU Political Science Club (2013), President*******
Of the speakers I only know Dr. Flanagan. He is a former attorney and actually is a great mind. I say I will raise hell but those who know me know I will be most respectful …. and entertaining. I hereby invite any and everyone to attend. “GRU’ is located off Walton Way in Augusta (easy access from the Wheeler Road [1C] and Wrightsboro Road [2] exits on I-520). I have no idea where University Hall is – better do some Googling yourselves. Parking may be another issue. Check in advance with the school.
This is a natural follow-up to my talk yesterday to the Augusta LP. I will even wear a form-fitting, expensive suit so as to look like a real attorney and expert! I don’t know what “brown bag” means. If you come, don’t plan on free food. If it’s there, it’s for the students I suppose. I may try to get on the panel if it’s possible. If not, I’ll be in the peanut gallery.
See you there!
PS: All my followers must also be respectful to all present. If you carry a gun, don’t bring it in the school. It’s against the illegal Georgia law we currently have and it may frighten some of th sheeple.
