Supporters of the Second Amendment know there are innumerable hypothetical arguments against anti-gun policies, and unending amounts of statistical evidence that show the abject failure of gun-control laws to have any discernible impact on efforts to diminish violent crime. And when extremists opposed to our rights roll out the tired, overused phrase, If it saves one life, we know they have abandoned all logic and are simply resorting to an unprovable argument.

Why, in the face of these widespread efforts, is NO ONE citing the fact that the Heller Court has already held such laws unconstitutional?
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)
Dicta:
[A] statute which, under the pretense of regulating, amounts to a destruction of the right, or which requires arms to be so borne as to render them wholly useless for the purpose of defense [is] clearly unconstitutional. |
