It was not the title appreciation due to their popularity. Colts would continue to hold this that first caught my attention, because I felt that I already knew the exalted position for the next fifty-plus years, with Winchesters eventually answer, but the year it was presented. The 1950s were a decade that I reaching parity. could relate to. This is when my collecting adventures began amid surging While Serven’s investment calculations comparing gun values with interest in antique guns and sage warnings that prices were too high. conventional financial instruments, such as real estate, were of some 1958 was the midpoint to where we are today, and the vantage point merit, his identification of the subtle changes in gun values influenced from where Serven would answer his own question.

  • The History of Firearm Magazines and Magazine Prohibitions
    KOPEL 3/17/2015 11:41 AM THE HISTORY OF FIREARM MAGAZINES AND MAGAZINE PROHIBITIONS David B. Kopel* I. INTRODUCTION In recent years, the prohibition of firearms magazines has become an important topic of law and policy debate. This article details the history of magazines and of magazine prohibition. The article then applies the historical facts to the methodologies of leading cases that have looked to history to analyze the constitutionality of gun control laws. Because ten rounds is an oft-proposed figure for magazine bans, Part II of the article provides the story of such magazines from the sixteenth century onward. Although some people think that multi- shot guns did not appear until Samuel Colt invented the revolver in the 1830s, multi-shot guns predate Colonel Colt by over two centuries.1 Especially because the Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller2 considers whether arms are “in common use” and are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes,”3 the article also pays attention to whether and when particular guns and their magazines achieved mass-market success in the United States. The first time a rifle with more than ten rounds of ammunition did so was in 1866,4 and the first time a * Adjunct Professor of Advanced Constitutional Law, Denver University, Sturm College of Law.

From the defeat of General Edward Braddock and the use of flank companies of riflemen in the French and Indian War, to the use of long rifles against Ferguson and the death of General Simon Fraser in the Revolutionary War at Saratoga, to the War of 1812 when British General Robert Ross was shot on the way to take Baltimore in 1814 and when long rifles were instru- mental at New Orleans in January 1815, up to the modern wars with the use of such arms as the Accuracy International AX338 sniper rifle, sharpshooters have been crucial in the outcome of battles and campaigns. I wish to dedicate this discussion to a true American patriot, Chris Kyle, a much decorated Navy Seal sniper whom we lost in February of this year, having earned two silver and four bronze stars in four tours of service to his country. He stated that he killed the enemy to save the lives of his comrades and his only regret was those that he could not save. He also aided his fellow attackers at bay; harassing target officers and artillerymen disabled veterans for whom he worked tirelessly with his from a long-range; instilling psychological fear and feelings Heroes Project after returning home.

  • Early Guns and Gunmakers West of the Missippi
    EARLY GUNS AND GUNMAKERS WEST OF THE MISSIPPI by James E. Serven I am truly proud to be with you tonight; the Ameri- can Society of Arms Collectors; in spite of some rough spots, has greatly increased its stature over the years and has built a sound foundation for healthy future growth. The Society's increasing virtues have had a good effect on some of our members, too. One pillar of the Society recently told me he had given up smoking - drinking - and, oh, well, two out of three is a good average. For a subject I can promise you nothing as amus- ing or as close in the experience of many of us as, for Herman Dean's fascinating talk onchamber crockery. My subject tonight is not intended to be especially profound, but if we are to judge from the attention given it by television, the moving picture industry, and in books of fiction, history and biography, it reasonable to assume that guns and their use in that period so broadly referred to as "the Winning of the West" is a subject of general interest. A discussion of specific weapons is usually more meaningful if these weapons may be related to im- pertant movements in history. This is often not as easy as it may seem. In many cases we have reason to believe certain weapons should have been on the scene at a given time, but were they? As men like Sam Smith, Herschel Logan, Henry Stewart and many others of you know, a serious conscien- tious reseacher cannot be satisfied with vague references and must accept nothing but positive proof.
