Don Kates
Don Kates is a retired American lawyer and research fellow with The Independent Institute in Oakland, California who has focused on promoting gun rights. His books include ''Armed: New Perspectives On Gun Control'', ''Restricting Handguns: The Liberal Skeptics Speak Out'', ''Firearms and Violence: Issues of Public Policy'', and ''The Great American Gun Debate: Essays on Firearms and Violence'' (with Gary Kleck). As a civil liberties lawyer he has been retained by the National Rifle Association to represent gun owners attacking the constitutionality of certain firearms laws. The ''Washington Post'' described Kates as the "Johnnie Cochran" of the pro-gun lobby, noting his polemical attacks on public-health research on firearms injuries and writing that Kates "has muddied the waters of truth so thoroughly that wading into them is a daunting task."〔
Kates attended Reed College and Yale Law School. During the Civil rights movement, he worked in the South for civil rights lawyers including William Kunstler. Thereafter, he specialized in civil rights and police misconduct litigation for the federal War on Poverty program. After three years of teaching constitutional law, criminal law, and criminal procedure at Saint Louis University School of Law, he returned to San Francisco where he practiced law and writes on criminology. He is editor of ''Firearms and Violence: Issues of Public Policy'' (San Francisco: 1984, Pacific Research Institute) and the Winter 1986 issue of ''Law & Contemporary Problems''. He is author of the entry on the Second Amendment in M. Levy & K. Karst, ''The Encyclopedia of the American Constitution''; "Firearms and Violence: Old Premises, Current Evidence," in T. Gurr (ed.), ''Violence in America'' (1989); and "Precautionary Handgun Ownership: Reasonable Choice or Dangerous Delusion," B. Danto (ed.), ''Gun Control and Criminal Homicide'', forthcoming (1990).
