Supreme Court's Decision On 2nd Amendment Due

The U.S. Supreme Court may announce today whether it will will take up Washington, D. C. Mayor Adrian Fenty's appeal of a court ruling that found D. C.'s ban on private gun ownership is unconstitutional. Should the justices choose to take up the case, the two sides would argue before the court in February or March; otherwise, by mid-November city officials would be faced with the unenviable task of re-writing the District's restrictive gun laws to square with the decision handed down by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District Circuit in March. That decision found that the city's ban on handguns was unconstitutional.
