"District's Post-Heller Firearm Restrictions Are Upheld"

"District's Post-Heller Firearm Restrictions Are Upheld": At "The BLT: The Blog of Legal Times," Tony Mauro has a post that begins, "Judge Ricardo Urbina of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has just ruled that the D.C. firearm ordinances enacted after the Supreme Court's D.C. v. Heller decision in 2008 'permissibly regulate the exercise of the core Second Amendment right to use firearms for the purpose of self-defense in the home.' Urbina ruled in a case brought by Dick Heller, the same plaintiff who challenged the previous D.C. ordinance at the Supreme Court."

Michael Doyle of McClatchy's Washington Bureau has a post titled "Heller shot down, judicially speaking, as court upholds D.C. gun regs" at his "Suits & Sentences" blog.

At "SCOTUSblog," Lyle Denniston has a post titled "New D.C. gun laws upheld; Sequel to 2008 ruling."

And The Associated Press reports that "Judge upholds DC's post-Supreme Court gun laws."
