Constitution Center Topic - "Can government ban handguns?"
I saw reference to this in the Daily Local - an Editorial - this morning. I really don't get what's going on... it looks like they have a live, interactive webcast with students, and the topic is government banning handguns, for this Thursday.
It would be interesting to hear the arguments in support of a "yes" answer, wouldn't it?
