D.C. v. Heller

In 2002, Robert A Levy from the Cato Institute challenged a DC law banning handguns, arguing it violated the Second Amendment. He found plaintiffs, including Dick Heller, to sue the city. The case reached the Supreme Court, which ruled 5-4 in favor of Heller, affirming individual gun ownership rights. The decision remains controversial amid ongoing gun control debates.
