Dirtboy, how the DC city council operates is of no consequence. They were created by Congress. The Chicago city council wasn’t. I expect at a minimum that you stick to federalist principles when studying the Constitutional issues. The individual bringing suit in Heller lived in DC. He was, in effect, suing the federal government to adhere to the Constitution. Try this brief. It includes Scalia’s summary of the who struck johns ~ http://www.lawnix.com/cases/dc-heller.html

It wasn't Congress that passed the laws in question, but the DC council acting like city councils around the country.

Like I said, the only federalist consideration was whether a finding of individual rights in Heller would be incorporated as a result of the ruling. Your attempt to imply anything more, yet again, shows the extent to which you are twisting logic.
