Robert J. Cottrol (born January 18, 1949) is an American legal scholar and legal historian.
Career[edit]
Cottrol holds a chair in the George Washington University (GWU) Law School and is also a professor of history and sociology at GWU.[1][2] He earned his B.A. and Ph.D. from Yale University, and his J.D. from Georgetown Law School.[1] His research concentrates on race relations in U.S. legal history and criminal law contexts.[1] He is the author of five books and dozens of book chapters, law review articles, book reviews, and other published works on slavery, gun control, and others topics.[3] He is also the editor of Gun Control and the Constitution: Sources and Explorations on the Second Amendment.[1]
On gun control[edit]
Cottrol supports the use of background checks on firearms purchases, especially to prevent ownership by convicted felons. However, he argues that law-abiding citizens should have ready access to guns for self-defense. He says that minorities in particular need them to counter the threat of harsh treatment in racist cultures.[1]
