McDonald Decision Will Challenge Local Gun Laws

Sayre Weaver is one of the leading legal lights of the gun control movement in California and she says the McDonald decision is likely to spawn lawsuits challenging local gun control laws.

It appears likely that McDonald will generate challenges to a wide range of local firearms regulations, as well as ammunition regulations.....Because the Court has given little guidance on what standard a firearms regulation must meet to survive challenge under the Second Amendment, we anticipate that the decision will embolden individual litigants to challenge a wide range of firearms laws, including long standing laws that have previously survived challenge in the courts.

...ordinances will now be subject to a stricter test in the courts, and the legislative findings that may be needed for a given law to pass muster under the Second Amendment will be of particular importance.
