“Whether the following provisions — D.C. Code secs. 7-2502.02(a)(4), 22-4504(a), and 7-2507.02 — violate 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?”
Indeed, the question is rather narrow - without being unfair. This could well establish grounds for "incorporation" and overturning 922(o).
If we get a fair ruling on the meaning of “the people,” then it wouldn’t be too much more work to get a fair ruling on the meaning of “infringed.”
question reads funny....if I do belong to a state regulated militia, can i now keep handguns & firearms in the home ?
How can this apply when there is no "state"?
Of course it only applies to the laws being challenged. BUT, they cannot rule on that question without also ruling whether the second amendment protectes an individual right.
By next summer we will know if we still live in a Free Republic, or if it's time to hit the reset button.
Why stop at that? I’m hoping they repeal NFA 1934.
