Professor Fred Vars’ article, The Coming Assault on Categorical Gun Prohibitions (with Ian Ayres, Yale Law School), was published in the Stanford Law Review Online. The essay focuses on existing prohibitions on categories of individuals (e.g., felons) and proposes “ex ante and ex post reforms [that] would help to insulate state and federal category-based prohibitors from constitutional attack.”
