Dixon argues that the right to selfdefense does not imply the right to own a gun.
  How does Huemer respond?


 
 

a. Huemer agrees that the right to selfdefense does not imply the right to gun
  ownership. But he contends that talk of selfdefense is irrelevant because the
  Second Amendment of the United States Constitution implies the right to
  bear arms.
  b. Huemer argues that a ban on handguns would be a significant violation of the
  right of selfdefense.
  c. Huemer agrees that the right to selfdefense does not imply the right to own
  a gun; however, Huemer argues that there are other, more weightly
  considerations in favor of gun ownership.
  d. All of the above



Question 2

Which of the following best represents Huemers position?
 
 

a. Banning handguns is a defensible restriction on peoples liberty.
  b. The benefits of gun bans outweigh the violation of liberty such bans impose.
  c. The benefits of private gun ownership overshadow the harms caused by gun
  ownership.
  d. The right to bear arms, like any other right, is subject to limitations
