The NRA and the D.C. Gun Ban

The NRA has filed its "friend of the court" brief for the Supreme Court in the D.C. Gun Ban Case.

If you'd like to read it, you can find it online here.

Our brief lays out three major arguments: The Second Amendment guarantees (not grants) an individual right to keep and bear arms; laws infringing on the Second Amendment should be subject to strict (not merely heightened) scrutiny or be invalidated; and that the District of Columbia's gun ban is an unconstitutional infringement of our Second Amendment rights.

The NRA isn't the only group to file an amicus brief in this case. Fifty-five senators and 250 house members have signed on to a brief co-authored by Senators Kay Bailey Hutchinson and Jon Tester. That's a majority in both the Senate and the House. And that's great news for gun owners.
