Huemer looks at gun rights as more than just self-defense oriented. The thought is that the right to bear arms is ever evolving, and it was intentionally left as an open ended word rather than saying right to bear “swords” or “guns”.

Schuman uses public polling as an example of how the American people feel about the requirement of a permit to own a gun. This could be a good way to show how opinions have changed on the subject throughout the years.

This annotated bibliography can be a very useful tool when writing a research paper. It is a way to gather all of my sources in one place, with a way to remember what information each source contains. I think this will be an ever evolving bibliography as I continue to do more research throughout the next few weeks. There is so much information out there about this specific subject, without this bibliography it would be very hard to keep track of it all. Keeping it in alphabetical order is also a good practice as well. I look forward to using this new (to me) research tool.
