Historians are never in a position to be winners or losers in this realm. But we still have an obligation--moral, intellectual, civic, political--to contribute to the collective conversation and do our best to expose its mistaken premises, arguments, and conclusions.
No shade intended, I am just here to tell people it is a losing game for historians to try to be more originalist than originalism. None of the judges really care about the history and you will find zero answers to our nation's horrible problem with guns in the 18th century.
