Bruen, Garland v. Cargill , and potentially others); the NFA’s role in the U.S. today; conflict or cooperation between states; the NFA’s history; empirical study; and implications relating to the use of suppressors (“silencers”), including in wildlife conservation and hearing loss prevention.
The Symposium will take place in the new facilities at the College of Law, in Laramie, Wyoming. Accepted final papers will be published in a symposium issue of the Wyoming Law Review. A selection of authors submitting works with the law review will be asked to speak at the Symposium on their submission topic following the submission of an abstract in July.
