Supreme Court Takes No Action In D.C. Gun Case |
| November 13, 2007 |
| The Supreme Court took no action Tuesday in the case involving the
District of Columbia's ban on handguns. The justices discussed the case
at their private conference on Friday, but reached no resolution.
Four justices must vote to grant an appeal. The court does not always reach a decision the first time it discusses a case. At issue is the capital's 31-year ban on handguns, among the strictest gun-control laws in the nation. In March, a federal appeals court struck down the ban as incompatible with the Second Amendment. The next time the court could announce its decision about hearing the case is Nov. 26. The case is District of Columbia v. Heller, 07-290. |
