BRIEF FOR AMICI CURIAE 55 MEMBERS

ON EDIT ADD FROM THE BRIEF SUMMARY:
"In sum, historically Congress has interpreted
the Second Amendment as recognizing the right of
law-abiding individuals to keep and bear arms. This
Court should give due deference to the repeated
findings over different historical epochs by Congress,
a co-equal branch of government, that the Amendment
guarantees the personal right to possess firearms.

The District’s prohibitions on mere possession
by law-abiding persons of handguns in the home and
having usable firearms there are unreasonable per se.
No purpose would be served by remanding this case
for further fact finding or other proceedings. This
Court should affirm the decision below, Parker v.
District of Columbia, 478 F.3d 370 (D.C. Cir. 2007)."
