Dick Heller is once again taking on D.C. gun law. (Photo: Gage Skidmore)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dick Heller, the lead plaintiff in the famous pro-gun Supreme Court case D.C. v. Heller, <\/em>is returning to court to take on the anti-gun regime of the nation\u2019s capital. This time, Heller is suing the district over its ban on private firearm manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe District has clearly not learned from its numerous defeats of in the courts, and this case arises from that predicament,\u201d Heller says in a new lawsuit filed this week<\/a> in D.C.\u2019s U.S. District Court. \u201cThe District\u2019s antipathy toward firearms, a Constitutional protected item, extends so far as to flatly prohibit the manufacture of a firearm in the District; not a particularly dangerous and unusual firearm, but any firearm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many cities in recent years, Washington, D.C., has instituted a ban on privately made firearms. According to District law, \u201cno person or organization shall manufacture any firearm, destructive device or parts thereof, or ammunition, within the District.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city goes further to specifically ban \u201cghost gun\u201d manufacture by outlawing unfinished frames or receivers that \u201cwithout the expenditure of substantial time and effort be readily made into an operable frame or receiver through milling, drilling, or other means.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heller argues that this prohibition is a clear violation of Second Amendment rights. In one particularly salient paragraph, he compares the Second Amendment to the First to demonstrate the absurdity of D.C.\u2019s laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cImagine were the District to ban the act of publishing one\u2019s own words. Would this court not see such a law as utterly invalid under any standard of review? Can there be any justification for an outright prohibition on the manufacture of a firearm, a Constitutionally protected item? Indeed, how can there be a right to keep and bear arms, if there\u2019s no right to make an arm in the first place? This case presents that issue for this court\u2019s consideration.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If Heller\u2019s case works its way up to the Supreme Court, it could impact other similar private gun bans throughout the country. San Francisco, for example, just passed its own ban on privately manufactured firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new law<\/a> prohibits private individuals from possessing \u201cmaterials\u201d that have been \u201cshaped or formed in any way for the purpose of becoming a frame or receiver of a firearm, rifle or shotgun and which may be readily made into a functional frame or receiver through milling, drilling or other means.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This overly broad definition will theoretically sweep up a huge number of products and objects that would require extensive manufacturing knowledge to be converted into a firearm. San Franciscans, furthermore, will be charged for possessing those un-serialized \u201cmaterials\u201d\u2014not just for converting those products into firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis ordinance is the first of its kind in the state of California, and this ordinance is very necessary and important,\u201d said Supervisor Stephanie Moulton-Peters at a September 7 Board of Supervisors meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California law already requires those who manufacture their own firearms to apply for a serial number from the California Department of Justice. But Moulton-Peters believes this requirement is too permissive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot many people do that. That rarely happens,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed the ordinance unanimously, but if Heller wins his case at the Supreme Court level, it won\u2019t be in place for long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
