HOW’S HELLER PLAYING IN THE LOWER COURTS? Brannon Denning and I have an article in the Hastings Law Journal that examines that question. (For a lovely typeset copy, just follow the link and click the “download” tab at the top-center). One point: Heller countered the gun-control lobby’s effort to “denormalize” gun ownership, and that may be its most significant impact in some ways. (Bumped).
