New 2nd Amendment challenge in Texas
Second Amendment Fdn. and a private plaintiff have filed a case in Fed. District Court in Texas (as in the Fifth Circuit/Emerson). Complaint in pdf is here.
Plaintiff is an American citizen who lives in Britain. Challenge is to 18 USC 922(a)(9), which states that a person who is a resident of no state can only buy firearms for lawful sporting purposes, which presumably excludes self-defense.
Comments
But the SAF & NRA continue to ignore my Second Amendment case, an unrepresented civil plaintiff presenting the Second Amendment from an American Merchant Seaman's point of view comparable to the case above.
For details visit my blog at American Common Defense Review at http://americancommondefencereview.blogspot.com/.
I am Don Hamrick, the unrepresented civil plaintiff. I need help from the NRA/SAF.
I have also taken my case to the international level as Petition 1142-06 at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
Signed: Don Hamrick
