Please join us and our friends at the Columbia Club of DC in this special event as Professor Jeffrey Fagan reviews the history of gun violence in the US.

Professor Fagan will recalibrate our frame of reference based on demographic and socio-economic statistics, emphasizing facts and dispelling the myths.

Fagan will then review the legal foundation around the second amendment, past legal precedence, and current pending court cases.

He will lay out a vision for how every concerned American citizen should focus their resources most effectively for reclaiming their inalienable right to life and to the pursuit of happiness.
