Supreme Court to hear DC Anti-Gun Law

The last time the Supreme Court reviewed a case over our 2nd Amendment - "right to keep and bear arms" was in 1939; United States v. Miller.

The Supreme Court will now put an end to a challenge, started by security guard Dick Heller, to Washington, DC's over restrictive & illegal ban on guns.

From USA Today --
The question the justices agreed to take up is whether the Washington, D.C., handgun ban violates "the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes."

By a 2-1 vote, a panel of the D.C. Circuit reversed a trial court decision that the Second Amendment does not protect individual gun owners.

That March ruling interpreted the constitutional history through a different lens and said the "individual right … existed prior to the formation of the new government under the Constitution and was premised on the private use of arms for activities such as hunting and self-defense."

Buckeye Firearms Association will be filing a brief in support of Mr. Heller. Click here to read a brief overview from Buckeye Firearms Association Legislative Chair Ken Hanson Esq.

Maybe once and for all the anti-gun korrectniks will understand - we ARE allowed to legally own & carry guns! Their argument of guns kill people is the same as saying your pencil misspelled a word!

I wish the best of luck to BFA and Mr. Heller.
