After serving a seven-year jail term for attempting to steal a sixty-year old painting from the national museum, notorious art thief, Benny Morgan, seeks redemption and tries to live a crime free life. His plans are demolished when nine days after his release, a piece of diamond worth 10 million dollars is stolen from an exhibition center. Only someone with the professional aptitude as Benny Morgan could pull off a job of that caliber. Worst still, a hair sample that matches his DNA turns up on the crime scene, but BENNY DIDN'T STEAL THE DIAMOND. While being transported to the cop house for interrogation, he manages to escape police custody. Benny is now a fugitive on the run and is branded the most wanted person in the nation. He is determined to track down the offender who set him up; an inquest that sees him travelling to three foreign countries and leaving behind a trail of dead bodies. Terror is all around him. The people Benny is after are no small time bandits but a masterly organized syndicate. How it unfolds is nerve shattering.

The US Supreme Court recently held that the constitutionality of modern gun laws depends on whether they are "consistent with this Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation." This landmark judicial decision, which cited an essay in this collection, made it ever more crucial to be clear about what the "historical tradition" entails. The scope of the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms, and accordingly the government's power to regulate firearms in the interest of public safety, hangs in the balance. Drawing on original research and sources not available to earlier Supreme Court opinions, New Histories of Gun Rights and Regulations brings together various methodological approaches and highlights issues in firearms law that have been previously underexamined. Its contributors, including distinguished historians, social scientists, and legal scholars, offer valuable new insight into the place of guns in American law and society. This groundbreaking new volume illuminates how history and constitutional law interact, suggesting concrete answers to some live legal controversies. A vital contribution to a vibrant debate, New Histories of Gun Rights and Regulations is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the scope of the Second Amendment--a right whose breadth is frequently defined by its historical treatment.
