This week’s edition of Legal Times features a piece by Bob Levy called Loaded for the High Court in which he responds to D.C.’s assertion that its gun ban is constitutional because (1) it only applies to handguns; (2) the Second Amendment only restrains the federal government, not states or local government entities like D.C.; and (3) D.C.’s gun ban is reasonable because it has saved “thousands of lives.”  As Bob explains, none of those claims stands up to scrutiny.
