Moderator Dahlia Lithwick, Senior Editor, Slate magazine, provides a quick overview of District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court case challenging the constitutionality of the District of Columbia's ban on the private possession of handguns. • • On March 13, 2008, ACS hosted a press briefing on the Supreme Court case, District of Columbia v. Heller, which concerns the constitutionality of the District of Columbia's ban on the private possession of handguns. Experts from a variety of perspectives discussed whether the Second Amendment protects only militia-related rights or the rights of private individuals, the appropriate standard for reviewing gun control legislation and the potential legal and policy implications of the first Court decision in this area in 68 years.
