Dennis Henigan: The Fight for Sensible Gun Laws Continues

Following the Supreme Court decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, Dennis Henigan, Vice President of Law & Policy, said that the fight to enact sensible gun laws will be undiminished by the Supreme Court's decision in the Heller case.

While the Justices disagreed by the narrowest of margins, 5 - 4, on whether the Second Amendment provides an individual, non-militia based right to bear arms, all nine Justices agreed that a wide variety of gun laws are presumptively constitutional, including restrictions on carrying concealed weapons, guns in schools and other sensitive places, and bans on "dangerous and unusual" weapons.
