SCOTUSblog says the Supreme Court has granted cert for Heller v. DC! And it looks like the Court has ignored the District’s attempt to limit the issue strictly to the handgun ban. This is how the Court worded the question they will decide:
Whether the following provisions — D.C. Code secs. 7-2502.02(a)(4), 22-4504(a), and 7-2507.02 — violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes?
Arguments will likely be heard some time in March, with a decision coming down in or before June. Just in time to heat up the 2008 Presidential race..
