DC Circuit -- Dick Heller v. DC

D.C. Gun control laws authorized by statute.

Basic registration scheme does not impinge on 2A guarantees.

Aspects of current registration scheme implicate 2A under intermediate scrutiny - remand for facts.

Prohibitions on assault weapons survives intermediate scrutiny.

Dissent - Ban on semiautomatics & registration scheme unconstitutional under Heller.
