3. Just one of many in the last two weeks
The Volokh Conspiracy started keeping track of cases where the defense threw in a second amendment challenge, but stopped after the first week when they had about 20 of them.

Every defense attorney involved in a case where a gun was used is going to throw it on the pile with all the otherr arguments, motions and the kitchen sink.

But ... in the decision itself Scalia said that the laws forbidding guns for the felon or mentally unstable were clearly constitutional.

Why don't you try starting a thread when a felon is actually freed because of the Heller case? We'll all wait right here for that news.
