DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ET AL. v. HELLER

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR

THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT

No. 07–290. Argued March 18, 2008—Decided June 26, 2008

District of Columbia law bans handgun possession by making it a crime

to carry an unregistered firearm and prohibiting the registration of

handguns; provides separately that no person may carry an unlicensed handgun, but authorizes the police chief to issue 1-year licenses; and requires residents to keep lawfully owned firearms

unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock or similar device. Respondent Heller, a D. C. special policeman, applied to register a handgun he wished to keep at home, but the District refused.

He filed this suit seeking, on Second Amendment grounds, to enjoin

the city from enforcing the bar on handgun registration, the licensing

requirement insofar as it prohibits carrying an unlicensed firearm in

the home, and the trigger-lock requirement insofar as it prohibits the

use of functional firearms in the home. The District Court dismissed

the suit, but the D. C. Circuit reversed, holding that the Second

Amendment protects an individual’s right to possess firearms and

that the city’s total ban on handguns, as well as its requirement that

firearms in the home be kept nonfunctional even when necessary for

one principle included in the u.s. constitution that reflects a fundamental basis of a constitutional democracy.

Alma Tirtsche (1921)
Alma Tirtsche's beaten body was found wrapped in a blanket in what is known as Gun
Alley in Melbourne, Australia. Because the body was relatively free of blood, the police
deduced that she had been murdered elsewhere and brought to the alley. Ger body had
been washed before being wrapped in the blanket. A local bar owner, Colin Ross, was
questioned. Ross admitted seeing Tirtsche in his bar earlier in the day.
Investigators collected blankets from Ross's home and found several strands of long,
reddish blonde hair on them. The length of the hair implied it had come from a female,
and the concentration of pigment in the hair implied a younger woman. Some of the
ends of the hair were irregular, implying the hair had been forcibly broken off. The
physical similarity of the hair found on the blanket with that of Alma Tirtschke convinced
the jury that Ross was the murderer. This was the first time that hair was used to secure
a conviction in Australia. Unfortunately, analysis of the hairs 75 years later showed that
two of the strands found on the blankets came from different individuals, which throws
doubt on Ross's guilt.
3. What other characteristics of the hair could the investigators have examined
(besides the length and color) to determine if they had come from the same
person, and that that person was Tirtsche?
