On March 18, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in District of Columbia v. Heller.  The Court was asked to consider whether the DC laws banning handguns and functional firearms in the home violates the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes. The transcript and C-SPAN audio (RealPlayer required) of the oral argument is now available online.
