Wash Post piece on strategic Second Amendment litigation
Today’s issue of the Washington Post includes this intriguing front-page article about the DC Second Amendment litigation headlined “Lawyer Who Wiped Out D.C. Ban Says It’s About Liberties, Not Guns.” Here is how the piece begins:
Meet the lawyer who conceived the lawsuit that gutted the District’s tough gun-control statute this month. Meet the lawyer who recruited a group of strangers to sue the city and bankrolled their successful litigation out of his own pocket. Meet Robert A. Levy, staunch defender of the Second Amendment, a wealthy former entrepreneur who said he has never owned a firearm and probably never will.
After reading this article, I wonder if I can convince Levy to now start bankrolling some strategic Eighth Amendment litigation.
