Abstract
Shortly after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting left twenty children and six adults dead, a public movement ensued. The movement demanded that gun violence be addressed as a public health issue. While the movement led to successful gun control reform in a few states, it was unable to gain any traction in the federal government and had the opposite effect in others states where firearms became easier to own, carry, and conceal. Joan Miller provides an update on changes in the Second Amendment law that have occurred since her Article, The Second Amendment Goes to College, was published in 2011. More specifically, this Article addresses the recent development of the framework used to determine the constitutionality of a gun control regulation. In addition, Miller discusses where different states have landed on the issue of carrying firearms on school campuses.
