    Dick Heller is reportedly mulling another lawsuit against the District of Columbia, and once again—it’s over the Second Amendment. Heller was the man who brought about the key DC v. Heller case that tossed the city’s handgun ban and asserted an individual right for Americans to own firearms outside of service in a militia. Yet, it only applied to federal enclaves. In 2010, McDonald v. Chicago expanded that standard to the states.

    A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., will have the chance to examine the latest version of the District of Columbia's gun restrictions, in a possible test of how to apply the U.S. Supreme Court's 2008 decision in D.C. v. Heller. Lawyers for Dick Heller, a name party in the earlier case, filed a notice Thursday that they will continue fighting in this follow-up case. They are appealing to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to reverse a March 26 decision by U.S. District Judge Ricardo Urbina. That ruling upheld new restrictions the D.C. Council passed in...
