Members Of Congress Sign Brief Opposing D.C. Gun Ban
WASHINGTON -- Fifty-five U.S. senators and 250 representatives have signed a legal brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down D.C.'s gun ban.
They want the court to make it clear that the Second Amendment gives individuals the right to own guns for their protection.
The court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in the case on March 18. The justices will examine the 31-year-old ban on handguns, one of the strictest gun-control laws in the nation.
A federal appeals court struck down the ban in March as incompatible with the Second Amendment.
The lawmakers who signed are mostly Republicans, but nine Democrats in the Senate and 68 in the House joined them.
At issue is whether the Second Amendment of the Constitution protects an individual's right to own guns or instead merely sets forth the collective right of states to maintain militias.
