D.C. v. Heller

The Supreme Court's ruling in favor of individual gun rights in District of Columbia v. Heller was barely two months ago, but already Washington is taking steps to defy the ruling with new laws that make purchasing and owning a firearm in the city nearly as difficult as before. Let's talk about this most important supreme court case of the summer (and possibly the most important thus far of John Roberts' tenure as Chief Justice) as well as the general issue of gun rights and the second amendment.

I have included two links:

A NY Times article on the case

A Reason Magazine article on DC's new laws in response to the case
