The Washington Post reports, “A majority of the Senate and more than half of the members of the House will file a brief today urging the Supreme Court to uphold a ruling that the District’s handgun ban violates the Second Amendment.” The brief notes, “This court should give due deference to the repeated findings over different historical epochs by Congress, a co-equal branch of government, that the amendment guarantees the personal right to possess firearms.” It continues, “The District’s prohibitions on mere possession by law-abiding persons of handguns in the home and having usable firearms there are unreasonable.”
