I can promise you that, at this moment, there are hundreds of academic papers being written on violence. I'd be shocked if there were new insights.

I'm sure that many politicians are afraid of the Bill of Rights. That's kind of the point of it, and why it wasn't in the original documentation. If you've never read the history of our founding documents, from the Articles to the Bill, the wikipedia entry is excellent. I can also recommend several good books that layer a lot of the politics of the time on them.
