Last
week was the first anniversary of the Heller case, in
which the Supreme Court for the first time declared that the Second
Amendment indeed protects an individual right to own guns in the
home for self-defense. It was a great victory for individual
rights, but by no means a final one.
The lawyer who successfully argued that case, Alan Gura, has remained a dedicated opponent of all sorts of gun regulations that still stand post-Heller. Senior Editor Brian Doherty talked to Gura by phone earlier this week about the various legal challenges he’s fighting against state and local gun laws.
