Pro-Heller Amicus Briefs From GOA, Women Lawmakers

Two more amicus briefs supporting the case of Mr. Heller in his bid to overturn the District of Columbia's antiquated handgun ban.

This time from Gun Owners of America, and a brief from 126 legislators and scholars -- all women. The second brief notes that the DC firearms ban effectively abrogates women's rights to defend themselves, and prevents women from achieving the same autonomy available to many men.

Both are solid reading.
