Another DC Handgun Ban Ruled Unconstitutional

The DC government ignored the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Heller case, so we had to take them back to court. We won again. The idea that they can simply ban the exercise of a fundamental and enumerated constitutional right is absurd. If the constitutional approach of the DC government were applied to the First Amendment, they would interpret the power to regulate the time, place, and manner of its exercise to include banning all churches, mosques, temples, and synagogues in the District. That cannot be right and the court has set them straight on that matter.


Alan Gura, our lawyer, is a hero for his work on behalf of the rule of law. I and the other plaintiffs are grateful to him and to the Second Amendment Foundation for this resounding victory.
