On June 26, 2008, the United States Supreme Court held in District of Columbia v. Heller, 128 S. Ct. 2783, 2821-22 (2008), that "the District's ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment, as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense."
The District's ban on semiautomatic handguns amounts to a prohibition of an entire class of arms that is overwhelmingly chosen by American society for the lawful purpose of self-defense in the home. Semiautomatic pistols are issued to and commonly possessed by officers of the Metropolitan Police Department for self-defense and other lawful purposes.

Heller may or may not be running for "Congress" (as I call our delegate election). I don't think it's certain yet.
Great to see Mr. Heller continuing to work towards greater constitutional rights for DC residents.
The DC "Emergency Legislation" is completely contrary to the specifics (much less the spirit) of the Supreme Court majority opinion.
