I've noticed a lot of books referenced that are related to various amendments but then when I get time to come back and find them they are lost in the void.

So, does anyone have any good "rights" books they recommend? Doesn't matter which side of the aisle the authors are on.

"The Citizen's Constitution: An Annotated Guide," Seth Lipsky. I had both of my early teen kids read it. (after I reade it of course...just to make sure). This book is not 2nd Amendment related specifically but a general overview of the whole of the Constitution.

I have struggled through some John Locke, much of our constitution is based on him I think I might have to break him down into smaller books to assimilate his thoughts better though.

I can't really stand the socialists on the left or the right, so good books on how rights have been trampled are "Who killed the constitution" by Woods and Gutzman, The Tyranny of good Intentions by Roberts and Stratton.

If someone is going to read Locke, or any other philosopher, they really should have a notebook at their side to write down thoughts that come-up during the read, and also write ideas that you have regarding what you read.

It always takes me forever to read through a book because nearly every paragraph I read, I have a half a page of notes.

The reason I recommended a modern-day book that describes the Constitution is because some people aren't acclimated to reading Locke, Homer, Mills, Kant, Dworkin, Hart, Schopenhauer, etc. **(Don't mistaken any of my examples as a statement that I agree with any of their philosophical stances)

Notebook not a bad Idea, I can highlight and make notes on my e-reader but kinda cumbersome to tap out my thoughts....

I have a e-reader as well. I love my reader but note-taking is a pain in the freaking a$$! The reason I got the reader is it is exclusively a reader; well, the wi-fii isn't worth crap, thank goodness. I don't read book on my laptop, it's impossible, to many distractions.

Still have a notebook when e-reading, I do highlight lines though, and document any thoughts hard copy. I have the new Kindle reader.

One of the best is Malcolm's "To Keep and Bear Arms: The Origins of an Anglo-American Right"

See: http://www.amazon.com/Keep-Bear-Arms-Origins-Anglo-American/dp/0674893077

And Cramer's "For the Defense of Themselves and the State: The Original Intent and Judicial Interpretation of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms"

See: http://www.amazon.com/For-Defense-T...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331571066&sr=1-1
