...which the central consideration is the right of an individual to own a firearm as protected under the Second Amendment. The case specifically addresses private handgun ownership in the District of Columbia. But while legalistic arguments—the phrasing of the amendment itself and the framers’ intent??will be at the center of the debate, no matter what the justices ultimately decide, we believe that a constitutional protection of an individual right to bear arms is detrimental to the country.

It would have been useful if economists at Harvard could explain the solipsistic futility of divestment in economic terms, rather than parsing constructed distinctions between alleged bigotries of “intent?? versus “effect.” It would have been useful if University leaders could explain that the complex situation in Israel and Palestine is devoid of cowboy-movie good guy/bad guy distinctions that animate the shallow logic of divestment. It would have been useful...
