Read this excerpt from the District of Columbia v. Heller majority opinion: "In sum, we hold that the District's ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment, as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense. Assuming that Heller is not disqualified from the exercise of Second Amendment rights, the District must permit him to register his handgun and must issues him a license to carry it in the home." a. Individual states may prohibit firearm ownership, but the federal government cannot. b. Any law placing limits on handgun ownership violates the Second Amendment. c. A citizen's right to bear arms overrides a city's interest in protecting public safety. d. Firearms are highly dangerous and must be strictly regulated by state and federal governments.
