A Rare Loss for the NRA

Ever since the Supreme Court decided in 2008 that the 2nd Amendment gave law-abiding Americans the right to keep a gun in the home for self-defense, the NRA had been racking up a very impressive series of legal wins in various courtrooms around the country, most recently a decision in California that struck down San Diego's concealed-carry law as being an infringement of 2nd Amendment rights. But the music stopped playing last week when the Federal District Court in Washington DC upheld the city's gun registration procedure which had been challenged by the self-same Dick Heller whose lawsuit became the basis for the historic 2nd Amendment decision in 2008.

the problems facing the gun control movement are political and cultural, not legal.

This law will have no significant impact on gun violence but it is legal.
