Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression.

Area of Science:

  • Constitutional Law
  • Criminal Law
  • Firearms Regulation

Background:

  • The Second Amendment's scope regarding firearm threats is debated.
  • Distinguishing protected gun displays from illegal threats is legally complex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if the Second Amendment protects negligent or reckless firearm wielding that constitutes a threat.
  • To establish a legal standard for evaluating firearm threats under constitutional law.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of First Amendment "true threats" doctrine.
  • Application of "true threats" principles to Second Amendment jurisprudence.
  • Examination of constitutional requirements for culpable mental state (mens rea).

Main Results:

  • The Second Amendment, similar to the First Amendment, should not shield individuals making true threats of unlawful violence.
  • The "true threats" doctrine, which prohibits statements expressing intent to commit unlawful violence, provides a relevant framework.
  • Recklessness is proposed as the appropriate mens rea standard for firearm threat cases.

Conclusions:

  • Constitutional protections for firearms do not extend to threats of unlawful violence.
  • The "true threats" doctrine offers a model for proscribing dangerous firearm conduct.
  • A recklessness standard for mens rea aligns with constitutional principles for firearm threats.
