Mixed Brass

Here is an update on Heller v. DC from Snowflakes in Hell

Heller v. DC

That’s right, it’s not DC v. Heller.  Dick Heller is suing the District of Colombia once again over their new gun laws.  We wish Mr. Heller the best of luck.

UPDATE: You can see a copy of the complaint here.

UPDATE: Now that I’ve had time to read, it looks like they are basically asking for an injunction against:

1. The ballistics testing nonsense
2. The nonsense about not being able to register a semi-automatic pistol under DC’s ridiculous definition of “machine gun”
3. They ask for any further relief the court may want to offer.

What they are not asking for an injunction on is whether semi-autos that can shoot more than 12 rounds from a magazine.  Also, again, they aren’t challenging the registration itself.  That’ll all be later cases.  Pick the low hanging fruit first.
