Petition for certiorari denied on January 17, 2012
Docket No. Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
11-290 N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2011

Issue: (1) Whether the “presumptively lawful” language in footnote 26 of this Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller created a safe harbor exempting restrictions on Second Amendment rights from any level of heightened judicial scrutiny; and (2) whether an equal protection challenge to discriminatory classifications that affect the fundamental right to keep and bear arms is subject merely to rational basis scrutiny.
