In light of Heller, the complaint asks that the decision be applied to the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and so supercede state and local law.
In a newly filed lawsuit in federal court in Chicago, two gun rights organizations and four individuals asked that the Second Amendment be extended to block strict gun laws at the state and local level. “The Second Amendment right,” the complaint contended, “is incorporated as against the statesand their political subdivisions pursuant to the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
The case, McDonald, et al., v. Cityof Chicago, et al. (District docket 08-3645), was filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago to challenge a city ordinance that bars registration of handguns with only a few exceptions, and that limits registration of other guns. The case was assigned to Senior District Judge Milton I. Shadur.
