- Abstract
Individuals ought to be able to protect themselves from gun suicide by making it more difficult for them to buy guns. This Article examines the constitutionality of two robust, voluntary restraints on gun purchase. A person who selected the first option would be able to purchase a gun only after receiving judicial approval. Under the second option, the ban on purchase would be irrevocable. The Article concludes that neither option violates the Second Amendment, but that a contrary holding is possible with respect to the irrevocable purchase ban.
