This may have already been uncovered here, but I just saw it today. It is certainly worth a read and debate.

David Konig is a professor of history and law. He is not a professor of political science specializing in public policy, modern legislative politics, or modern Presidential politics. As such, he is no more and no less than what we are – interested observers and not experts. His comments on what and when the Obama administration will do on guns and gun control policy have no more special relevance than those of any gun blogger.

Messing around with gun show sales is no small matter, Dr. Konig.

Kurt–I agree; Should read British North American Colonial Law if he studies American history from the colonial period. Sounds like Dr. Konig needs to consult Stephen Halbrook’s latest work, which hadn’t gone to press yet by the time of the Heller case.

[Unless he studies how the U.S. administered the Philippines after the Spanish-American War, or Hawaii before it became a state, that sort of thing...]

�The issue will turn to CONTROLS, such as sales at gun shows or other limited restrictions on purchases.�

And we all know what “controls” usually lead up to.

Wishfull misdirection and smoke-blowing, Mr. Bane says otherwise. Who would you believe; an wrong-side cloistered ivory-tower academic, a fabulist truth-twister like Bellesiles, or someone out in the real world?

Hey, anyone who can convince 4 Supreme Court Justices that “up” means “down,” “black” means “white” and “shall not be infringed” means “may be wiped out altogether” must be an expert in something.
