Gun advocate sues again

The plaintiff in the U.S. Supreme Court case that struck down the city’s handgun ban filed a federal lawsuit alleging that its new regulations still violate an individual’s right to own a gun for self-defense.

Dick Heller and two other plaintiffs contend that the city continues to violate the intent of the Supreme Court’s June 26 decision by prohibiting the ownership of most semiautomatic weapons, requiring an “arbitrary” fee to register a firearm and establishing rules that make it all but impossible to keep a gun in the home for immediate self-defense.
