The Code also contained provisions that required owners of lawfully registered firearms to keep them unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock or other similar device unless the firearms were located in a place of business or being used for legal recreational activities.]]> 2020-11-19 15:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/941922796 https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942083697 Dick Anthony Heller was a D.C. special police officer who was authorized to carry a handgun while on duty. He applied for a one-year license for a handgun he wished to keep at home, but his application was denied. Heller sued the District of Columbia. He sought an injunction against the enforcement of the relevant parts of the Code and argued that they violated his Second Amendment right to keep a functional firearm in his home without a license. ]]> 2020-11-19 16:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942083697 https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942090809 The district court dismissed the complaint.

Justice Antonin Scalia delivered the opinion for the 5-4 majority. ]]> 2020-11-19 16:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942228497 https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942256693 According to Breyer "The majority’s conclusion is wrong for two independent reasons. The first reason is that set forth by Justice Stevens—namely, that the Second Amendment protects militia-related, not self-defense-related, interests. These two interests are sometimes intertwined. To assure 18th-century citizens that they could keep arms for militia purposes would necessarily have allowed them to keep arms that they could have used for self-defense as well. But self-defense alone, detached from any militia-related objective, is not the Amendment’s concern."]]> 2020-11-19 16:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942256693 https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942278618 The ruling stated “militia” should not be confined to those serving in the military, because at the time the term referred to all able-bodied men who were capable of being called to such service. To read the Amendment as limiting the right to bear arms only to those in a governed military force would be to create exactly the type of state-sponsored force against which the Amendment was meant to protect people. Which means that citizens do not have to be in the military to own a gun for self defense reasons, they can just be able bodied men.]]> 2020-11-19 16:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942278618 https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942329429 In fact, conservative jurists were quick to criticize Heller as lacking two supposed hallmarks of judicial conservatism: an unbiased review of the evidence about the meaning of the Second Amendment and, given ambiguity about that meaning, judicial restraint. Justice Scalia’s opinion, these judicial conservatives argued, deployed an unbalanced historical analysis, reached a questionable conclusion about a constitutional right, and failed to defer to the judgments of elected officials.]]> 2020-11-19 17:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942329429 https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942348217 2020-11-19 17:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942348217 https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942355343 2020-11-19 17:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942355343 https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942361999 2020-11-19 17:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942361999 https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942369948 2020-11-19 17:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jsykes7216/yom46rtrwzp13ynk/wish/942369948
