Answer 1

Answer:

Supporters of Scalia’s view that handgun bans violate Second Amendment rights could cite the Supreme Court case of the District of Columbia versus Heller to support their argument.

Explanation:

• In the 2008 case of District of Columbia versus Heller, the Supreme Court had passed a judgment saying that the government of Columbia cannot ban its residents from registering new weapons neither it can require the residents to keep their weapons non-functional when at home.
• Justice Scalia referred to the Second Amendment to the Constitution to support her decision and clarified that the right of the citizens to bear and use arms would remain untouched.
