Buckeye Firearms Foundation Files Brief in D.C. Gun Ban Case


The police can never be everywhere at once, and simple logic dictates that the one best able to resist criminal attack is the one being attacked. The victim will always be present at the time of the crime; the police will almost never be present, serving instead to respond to the crime after it has happened. The most fundamental rights enshrined in our legal tradition were summarized as the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those same rights are meaningless under a framework where random criminal attack is not only expected but accepted without recourse.
This paragraph perhaps best summarizes the brief that Buckeye Firearms Foundation filed in the D.C. vs. Heller gun ban case, currently pending before the United States Supreme Court.


Buckeye Firearms Foundation and a coalition of five private security trade organizations have filed a brief with the Supreme Court of the United States in what may become the most important Second Amendment case in history.

The Supreme Court agreed to hear this Second Amendment case after a lower court struck down D.C.’s ban on all functional firearms. Buckeye Firearms Foundation and the trade groups have filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to uphold the lower court decision, which ruled the gun ban was an unconstitutional violation of citizen’s Second Amendment Rights.

Unlike many groups, Buckeye Firearms Foundation and the trade groups chose to author their own brief rather than merely sign on to a brief being prepared by another group. The trade groups joining Buckeye Firearms Foundation include the National Council for Investigation and Security Services, Ohio Association of Security and Investigation Services, Michigan Council of Private Investigators, Indiana Association of Professional Investigators, and Kentucky Professional Investigators Association.

“This case is critically important to the future of gun rights throughout America,” said Delaware attorney Ken Hanson, who authored the brief with Attorney Mike Moran and Attorney Ramon Santini. “For better or worse, this case is going to have the same impact on gun rights as Miranda v. Arizona had on criminal rights. It will truly be a landmark decision.”

Interesting read, I think they missed one point - it's only the decent officers on MPDC (and there are many) that keep the department functional at all.

They deserve our respect for that.
 
KnightOfTheOldeCode, I hate to sound arrogant or condescending (can I do both at once?), but we know this!

In fact, Ken Hanson (your attorney of record) has even come on board and talked to us a bit about his brief and the Heller case. You wouold know all of this, if you had bothered to look at the top of this forum, where there is this big fat stickied thread called (cue drum roll), D.C. vs. Heller (Supreme Court and the 2A) - Mega Thread, which now has 500 posts to it. Yeah, I know it's a tough read. But even if you had read the last 3 pages, you would have known not to start Yet Another Heller Thread (YAHT).

The reason that stickied thread is there, is so that our board is not cluttered with a hundred threads all talking about essentially the same thing: D.C. vs. Heller. And it will most likely stay there until we get a decision from the Court.

Look... I know you meant well and all of that. But please, please join in that thread and be part of the discussion there.

Duplicate Thread - Closed.
