In our first fieldwork of 2016, we didn’t exactly do a fieldwork. We had an interview with the professor of law at Duke University, Joseph Blocher. We called at first at 1:58, 2 minutes before we were scheduled to call him. He did not pick up the first time. We then tried him a second time, at 2:01, 1 minute late. He then picked up. He was a very nice man, positive and kind. We proceeded to talk about his article in the New York Times Opinion pages, We Can Regulate Guns at the Local Level, Too, published on December 10th. It calls for a reprimand of local gun laws, such as the ones in Highland Park, allowed by Frank Easterbrook, the circuit judge. The night before, we all marked up the article with important questions, such as asking for examples of local gun laws that can be passed and would be good for everyone. One thing that I think that was one of our best questions was about the college laws on open-carry for guns. I thought that it would be a relevant question to ask Mr. Blocher because he is a professor at Duke. He said that at Duke, there are no guns allowed because it is a private school, that can set it’s own rules. Schools, like Texas, have to follow the rules that the Constitution calls for. I think that it would be delightful to work with him again. He was a very nice guy. I have a question about my topic: how do the private schools come up with the laws about gun violence prevention? I think that I did very well on coming up and prepping for the interview. It was a very nice interview overall.
