District of Columbia Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and other local officials will discuss the city’s appeal to the Supreme Court to try to revive the District’s handgun ban at a press conference Tuesday morning, the Mayor’s office announced. Here is the press release about the event.
Under an extension of time granted by Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., the District’s petition for review in the Second Amendment case is due no later than Wednesday. The D.C. Circuit Court, relying on that Amendment, struck down the city’s strict handgun control law.
