Fairfax, Va. - The NRA is pleased to note that an overwhelming
majority of state Attorneys General filed a significant amicus curiae
brief with the United States Supreme Court in the case of District of
Columbia (D.C.) and Mayor Adrian Fenty v. Dick Anthony Heller. This
brief, supported by 31 state Attorneys General, supports the decision
of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, holding that the
Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms,
and therefore that the D.C. bans on handguns, on carrying firearms
within the home, and on possession of loaded or operable firearms for
self-defense violate that fundamental right.
