Guys, I'm really surprised that this case isn't getting more attention. This is huge.
If the court takes the case it will be the first time in 70 years a 2nd amendment case has been heard. The last one in 1939...
The case revolves around the Appeals Court (not sure of the number, but it handles DC) heard an appeal by law abiding citizens who broke the law by having firearms in the city. One is a cop (retired???). They lost the case in the local courts. They appealed to the federal courts and won. Now the city is going to petition the Supreme Court.
One way or another this will have nationwide ramifications.

"The District of Columbia has too many handguns," Fenty said. "Putting more handguns, even quote-unquote legal ones, into the quote-unquote law-abiding citizens could get into the hands of people who are going to use them in the commission of crimes."
