NSSF Amicus Brief Explains Origins of Second Amendment
As we noted recently, the case of District of Columbia vs. Heller, is slated to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court on March 18, 2008. This landmark case squarely presents the High Court with the question whether the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution affords an individual right to own firearms.
Along with many other interested organizations, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has filed a “friend of the court” Amicus Brief in the D.C. v. Heller case. The NSSF’s well-researched brief provides a fascinating history of the Second Amendment, explaining the factors which gave rise to its adoption. We recommend you read the brief and save it for future reference.

So far I have read about 6 of the Amicus Curiae briefs and the brief for the NSSF is the best read so far, much better even that the NRA’s brief. The NSSF focuses on the historical context for the adoption of the 2nd Amendment vs a bunch of law and legal cases. Great read!
