N2  - This brief endeavors to correct common misconceptions about the Second Amendment and gun control that persist in the media and academia, and to expose how the District of Columbia and its amici misstate and decontextualize history and contemporary research to perpetuate such myths. These common myths are numerous, but generally fall under two headings: 1) that the right to keep and bear arms pertains only to the National Guard (collective rights theory); and 2) that gun ownership is dangerous, and owners are more likely to be injured in accidents or have their guns used against them than to successfully defend themselves.
