Here’s my plain English summary of the Court’s legal analysis:

 

-DC Council only needed to prove that it resonably believed that its registration laws MIGHT reasonably be accomplish their stated goals of FIRST protecting cops and also making the public more safe.

-And even if that’s not a reasonable belief, so long as the laws MIGHT keep the problem from getting much worse, good enough.

-OPINIONS from managament level cops meet that burden and actual statistical evidence is unnecessary.

-Nevertheless, DC Council offered such evidence through it’s one semi-scholarly witness

-The fact that Heller’s much more accomplished witness offered a lot of evidence that showed DC Council’s cop opinions and expert are wrong/lying, doesn’t win the day. Rather, they should take that up with DC Council*, not the Court.

-The Court will defer to the Council, even when proven wrong, because gunz.

-The end.

 

*Essentially, the Court is saying here that “Well, it sounds like you’re correct, but we’re not overturning the Council. You should make your argument to them directly and beg them to change their position based on it. Also, f*ck your rights, because they’re no different from car ‘rights’.”

Yea- I just saw that.  What a joke!

District court. Still has a Loooooong way to go. Hopefully soon to be joined by the SAFE act challenge and maybe someone who gets some balls and challenges NJ AWB.

Be serious, it is ALREADY in NJ, you pass through the state police for your NICS.

The only information about the gun being purchased is whether it is a pistol or long gun. The make, model, serial #, caliber, etc. are not passed to NJSP for a NICS. FtF are not logged at all.

 

Pistols, on the other hand are all registered if you buy them in NJ as a copy of the PtPH (and form of register) goes to NJSP.
