"Not only did Alan Gura have to fight the District of Columbia over the Second Amendment, now he is having to fight them in an effort to get paid for his efforts in the Heller case. The Legal Times Blog is reporting that the District of Columbia is balking over the bill submitted to the District Court by Gura. Basing his bill for fees on the prevailing market rates for complex Federal litigation, he submitted a request for $3.13 million to Judge Emmet Sullivan. This was for over 3,000 hours of billable time for six attorneys including himself."

"The District has countered that they should only have to pay $722,000." ...

"When it comes to slinging mud, Paul Helmke is not afraid to get his hands dirty. The President of the The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and Huffington Post hero’s recent polemic NRA Sides With Mass Killers Over ATF is a perfect case in point. As usual, Helmke resorts to scare tactics and half-truths to get his point across. Which is total civilian disarmament or, as The Brady Campaign now calls it, 'common sense gun control.' Helmke writes . . ." ...

... "Therefore, Madison included the Second Amendment to appease the states, Breyer said."

"OK, so let's accept Breyer's argument that Madison really didn't want an individual right to own guns, but that he included it to appease the states."

"So?"

"If true, how exactly does that support Breyer's argument that there isn't an individual right to own guns?" ...

Guns: What the proponents of fortress North America want you to forget

... "Presumably the attraction of Fortress North America is that crossing the border will be easier and quicker. But easier and quicker border crossings mean more U.S. illegal guns in Canada, the easier the crossing the greater the flow of weapons. That's axiomatic."

"Of course, we could always try to convince Americans to abrogate the Second Amendment and join the civilized world on the matter of guns...."
-------

Submitter's Note: Ah, the "civilized" world where almost 170 million people were murdered by their own governments in the 20th century? That "civilized" world? "Civilized" like Hitler, Stalin, Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang, Mao, Pol Pot, Amin?

"Anyone who doubts the need for regulation of firearms needs only to look to the Dec 15 issue of The Star. On Page One is a story about mourners at the funeral of a young shooting victim. People at the service had to grab some ground when an idiot or idiots started shooting. It must have seemed like absurdist theater of the worst sort." ...

Submitter's Note: As one of the commenters asks, I wonder if any of the guns referred to in the letter were obtained legally?

Submitter's Note: What Siddhartha fails to mention is that the "state of emergency" that triggered this lawsuit was neither riots nor looting nor a terrorist attack, but rather, snow.

"King County Sheriff Sue Rahr probably did not intend to do this, but yesterday when she explained the response time to recent assault on a pregnant Metro bus rider (which has left many Seattle-area bus riders furious), she matter-of-factly underscored why many frustrated Washington citizens are 'arming up' these days."

"'When a situation erupts very quickly,' she observed, 'it takes awhile for people to respond.'"

"This is going to hit home with a lot of residents in unincorporated King County if the Sheriff’s Office goes ahead with plans to lay off up to 15 deputies Jan. 1, and cut up to 11 more on June 1 of next year." ...

Gun owners must speak up to stop long gun sales reporting requirement
Submitted by: Bruce W. Krafft

"Gun rights advocates in St. Louis and across the country must make their voices heard, to stop a flagitious new infringement on that which shall not be infringed. This is a further development of something discussed here a couple days ago: the possibility that in addition to the 42-year-old requirement to report multiple handgun sales ... multiple sales of long guns (rifles and shotguns, in other words) would now have to be reported. At the risk of being accused of hyperbolic, 'Sky is falling' rhetoric,' it is time to point out that the BATFE apparently is committed to imposing such a requirement, and to do so administratively, without even the pretense of Constutitionality provided by congressional authority." ...
 

BATFE Requests “Emergency” Authority To Track Semi-Automatic Rifle Sales

... "The reporting requirement will apparently be imposed under the 'authority' the BATFE has used in the past to demand reporting of other types of transactions from certain limited groups of dealers over the past 10 years, but the new proposal is far broader than any previous use of this authority. Of course, there's no law today that prevents dealers from reporting suspicious transactions (or attempted transactions) to the BATFE, and dealers often do so. The BATFE is also free to inspect dealers' sales records—either for annual compliance inspections or during a criminal investigation." ...
