Talking PointsThe DC Gun Ban Case – How To Talk About It
Abstract
Recommended talking points regarding the DC gun ban case.
Description
In our view, the Supreme Court decision in the Heller case is a fair one that balances the individual right to own firearms for self-protection, with reasonable gun restrictions designed to protect society. The Supreme Court ruled, simply, that while Congress, state houses, and mayors’ offices can pass gun safety restrictions, the DC gun ban went too far. We caution progressives and other supporters of reasonable gun safety laws against overreacting to this decision.
