Gun Control Laws Case Summary
Antonin Scalia and the Reporter of Decisions. (2005). The Right to Own a Gun Is Guaranteed by the Constitution. In K. Doyle (Ed.), At Issue. Is Gun Ownership a Right? San Diego: Greenhaven Press.
In March 2008 the second amendment was reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court in the District of Columbia et al v. Heller case. The court stated that the second amendment allowed people to own guns. They concluded that the District of Columbia’s ban on guns was unconstitutional. The ban made it a crime to have an unregistered gun. The ban also required lawful guns to be stored unloaded and unassembled or have a trigger lock on it. The second amendment has limits though. These bans violate the second amendment.
