The date has been set. Oral arguments for District of Columbia v. Heller will take place March 18.
In the meantime, here are several new stories on the Heller/Parker appeal, which will decide the meaning of the Second Amendment, whether government can willy-nilly pass regulation after regulation (most often for political purposes) limiting access to firearms or ammunition, and whether the District of Columbia can continue to flout the 2A by extending its 30-year ban on handgun possession (which has not reduced crime there).

can't wait
we should know i would hope which way our case is leaning once we hear oral arguments from both sides. we know the usual suspects on the anti gun side are lining up plenty of amicus briefs, as is our side. i guess i am glad this case is coming before this case, for if barack or hillary are elected president, i am not hopeful of how the decision might come down if either of those two people had appointed justices as sitting members of the court retire or expire.
