Heller 2
Yup, we here at the waffle news network can confirm that Mr. Heller and two other plaintiffs (who no one seems to be able to name - UPDATE: The Ass. Press have updated their story without notice and say that the other two plaintiffs are Amy McVey and Absalom Jordan), have filed suit against the DC semi-auto ban and the trigger lock requirements that seem to make it nigh impossible to keep functioning firearms available in case of emergency.
I heard the news a few hours ago at WTOP, but after my last blunder, I felt I needed to verify the facts.
Reason
I’m pretty sure that this time around, when DC refused to issue a permit for Mr. Heller (in defiance of the supreme court order), they probably didn’t mark right on his application “Disapproved DC code 7-2502.02” (PDF) which quite possibly was the only thing that gave Mr Heller standing before the supremes the first time around. Like I said before, the gobs of press present on the very first day of registration epically failed to report accurately on DC’s initial refusal to issue a permit, but perhaps Heller’s crack legal team brought their own video recorders. I’d hate to see this get tossed out on “standing” because DC refused to issue an “Exhibit A”.
