C-SPAN2 Will Air Columbia College
Conservative Club Panel
On April 18, the Columbia College Conservative Club
hosted a panel of
noted researchers and scholars to discuss the controversial book "Arming
America" by Michael Bellesiles. This event was organized to offer a
different perspective to the ceremony held the same day where Bellesiles
was awarded the Bancroft Award by Columbia University.
The panel included
Yale professor John Lott
- author of "More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws"
- Clayton Cramer - author of several historical
books, including "For the Defense of Themselves and the State: The
Original Intent and Judicial Interpretation of the Right to Keep and Bear
Arms" - and attorney Stephen Halbrook - who
successfully argued against the
constitutionality of the Brady Act before the Supreme Court of the United
States.
C-SPAN 2 is scheduled to air the award ceremony, followed by the
panel discussion, this Sunday, April 29, at 8:50 p.m. EST.
