Article: Arms of the People Should Be Taken Away

This is an article published in American Rifleman that looks at primary resources to show the reasoning and movement of British officials to attempt to disarm the colonists prior to and during the American Revolution.  These movements would later lead to the Founding Fathers adding the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.  Obviously 2nd Amendment rights is a hot button issue but this article gives a unique look into period resources.  Therefore it makes for good study for budding historians.  http://banks7th.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/7/4/22749944/american_rifleman_-_the_arms_of_all_the_people_should_be_taken_away.pdf
