Read this excerpt from the District of Columbia v. Heller majority opinion: In sum, we hold that the District's ban on handgun
possession in the home violates the Second Amendment,
as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm
in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-
defense. Assuming that Heller is not disqualified from the
exercise of Second Amendment rights, the District must
permit him to register his handgun and must issue him a
license to carry it in the home.
What does the author of this excerpt most likely believe A. Any law placing limits on handgun ownership violates the Second
Amendment
B. Individual states may prohibit firearm ownership, but the federal
government cannot
C. Firearms are highly dangerous and must be strictly regulated by
state and federal governments.
D. A citizen's right to bear arms overrides a city's interest in
protecting public safety.
