Parker is now Heller

   Activists should be aware of the fact that as the "Parker" case heads to appeal at the Supreme Court, it is no longer the "Parker" case.  The pleading for certiorari will be titled "District of Columbia v. Heller" since Heller was the only plaintiff in the original case who was actually found to have legal standing and the roles have switched for the appeal.

   The Supreme Court did grant the Districts request for more time to file their appeal and that time runs out on September 5.  One of the primary reasons for the requested delay – and probably for the decision to appeal itself – is the fact that DC has managed to hire a prominent anti-gun law professor to head up their case.  The Professor only became available in the past month or so and they wanted him to be able to supervise the whole shebang. (Or at least that's what I think.)
   I am currently writing a short piece on this subject for inclusion in the upcoming edition of the Hard Corps Report which we hope to have in the mail next week.
   If you do not currently receive the HCR, all it takes is a donation (or really just a request, but we much prefer requests that are accompanied by a donation to help defray our costs.)
