abstract="The Second Amendment is widely seen as quite unusual, because it has a   justification clause as well as an operative clause. Professor Volokh   points out that this structure was actually quite commonplace in   American constitutions of the Framing era: State Bills of Rights   contained justification clauses for many of the rights they secured.   Looking at these state provisions, he suggests, cart shed light on how   the similarly structured Second Amendment should be interpreted. In   particular, the provisions show that constitutional rights will   often-and for good reason-be written in ways that are to some extent   overinclusive and to some extent underinclusive with respect to their   stated justifications.<p />",
