On Tuesday, however, �The justices agreed to consider a petition backed by gun owners� groups asking them to strike down New York City�s strict rules for carrying legally owned guns outside the home,� USA Today reports. �The rules do not allow gun owners to transport firearms outside city limits, even to practice ranges or second homes. Lower courts have upheld the city�s regulations.� |

Perhaps Mr. Ledowitz hasn't thoroughly read the D.C. v. Heller holding, which reads in part,
�Held:
�3) �the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional.� - D.C. v. Heller (2008)
The relevant and binding language states quite clearly that mandating a lawful firearm kept in the home be rendered inoperable or otherwise unavailable for immediate use for self-defense is facially unconstitutional, regardless of the method stipulated by the requirement.
In other words, this simply isn't a matter open to debate. It is settled law. |
