Monday, July 28, 2008 E-Mail Print Share: WASHINGTON — The plaintiff in the Supreme Court case that overturned Washington's 32-year-old handgun ban has filed a new federal lawsuit against the city. In a complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court, Dick Heller and two other plaintiffs allege that the city's new gun regulations still violate rights guaranteed under the Constitution. The lawsuit cites the District of Columbia's unusual ban on firearms that carry more than 12 rounds of ammunition, which includes most semiautomatic handguns. The suit also claims that the city's regulations make it all but impossible for residents to keep a gun ready for immediate self defense in the home. The Supreme Court struck down Washington's handgun ban June 26. The D.C. Council passed emergency legislation July 15 in an effort to comply with the court's ruling. |
Contempt of court would be my guess, and thus never need to go to trial for a circuit judge. |
but he did send me a copy of the complaint filed today.
Not unheard of at all. Donna Shalala, Clinton's HHS secretary, has literally dozens and dozens of federal cases with her name on it. And thats just one person. Cabinet secretaries are sued in their official capacities all the time. Good luck, Mr. Heller. |
Strange. Is he too busy with the Chicago case? Did he have anything to say (optimism for the new Heller case)? Thanks Gator. BTW, awesome that you know him! |
