Friends:

I am keeping score of amici filed (or promised to be filed) by states on behalf of DC or Parker et al./Heller. Let me lay it out for you. If anyone finds mistakes, please let me know. After you follow along below, I urge you to write your Attorney General as appropriate, and urge them to support Heller and the Second Amendment.

At the DC Circuit level:

Pro-DC (anti-gun rights) - MA, MD, NJ, cities of Boston, Chicago, New York, San Francisco

Pro-Parker (pro-gun rights) - TX, AL, AR, CO, FL, GA, MI, MN, NE, ND, OH, UT, WY

At the Supreme Court (petition stage):

Pro-DC (anti-gun rights) - NY, HI, IL, MD

Pro-Heller (pro-gun rights) - none

At the Supreme Court (post-certiorari stage):

Pro-DC (anti-gun rights) - none yet

Pro-Heller (pro-gun rights) - TX, AR, MT, MO, ID, MI, CO, VA


Now.....many states signed a letter to AG John Ashcroft dated 8 July 2002, supporting his view, and the view of the US Department of Justice that the Second Amendment protected an individual's right to keep and bear arms. Although it's been 5-6 years now...it's my sincere hope that many of these will also sign on to the state's amicus on behalf of Heller (note some already have). I urge people to contact their state's Attorney General. I've contacted mine (Illinois)... :-(

AL, DE, GA, ND, ID, OK, KY, PA, MT, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, WV, WY

Everytime I see a thread asking to urge my DA or Senator... He's already on the list for pro-RKBA :-) I love this state.
