As noted by Glenn Reynolds, a supposed journal of early american history has published a vapid piece on the Second Amendment by Michael Bellesiles. The editor of the journal, Jill Lapore, gave me a non-response when I queried why should would publish a piece from Bellesiles given the fraudulent character of his work and invited me to comment on their forum.
I asked: "Dear Ms. Lepore,
Is your use of Michael Bellesiles' piece on the Constitution supposed to be a joke? Bellesiles has been shown to be a fraud. Using a piece by him says much about your credibility."
The response I got was that they "welcome thoughtful comments" at their discussion forum. So I gave them one here.
