Join CU Law for the 34th annual Ira C. Rothgerber Jr. Conference, presented by the Byron R. White Center and the GIFFORDS Law Center. This year’s conference theme is “Modern Weapons, Historical Tradition, and the Second Amendment.” What happens when 18th century constitutional text meets 21st century weapons in a pluralistic society? Can historical tradition keep pace with modern firepower in our polarized times? National experts examine the legal and policy battles shaping gun violence prevention today, including assault weapon bans, conduct based gun prohibitions, 3D printed firearms, and deadly tensions between armed protesters and police.
