FWIW $557/hr for a DC attorney is pretty cheap.

I really hope Gura prevails. If DC and other jurisdictions that trample on the Second Amendment have to pay court costs for the lawsuits to overturn gun control laws, that will help prevent such laws from being passed in the future.

Me too. Hit them in the wallet!

I would rather see charges, if can be, on those such as the Mayor and any responsible hired or elected city official to be fired on grounds of violating the Constitutional oath they took. Then all the financial fees should be brought against them personally and include the their attorneys. I know, a stretch but I could hope can’t I.

declared for the first time in history that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to have a functioning gun for use in self-defense in the home.

As far as the Courts are concerned, this is correct. However, Art 6 para 2 applies "Shall not be infringed" to the Courts as well as the rest of the injunctions in the Bill of Rights. It never should have been necessary to take a case like this to court had our System been operating as designed.

It is a measure of how screwed up our "legal" system is that it can so completely disregard the very document that grants it power to begin with...

This is how the ACLU operates, no? The citizens pay them to take our rights away. At least this goes the other way for once.
