Round 2... let's get it all out this time, okay?
I sort of expected another test case. The term semi-automatic machine gun has no legal recognition beyond Washington D.C. They simply made it up. I presume that Heller carries a semi-automatic pistol as part of his security guard job (as do the Washington D.C. Police).

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- District residents can start registering their guns
today. But at least one very high profile application was already rejected.
Dick Heller is the man who brought the lawsuit against the District's
32-year-old ban on handguns. He was among the first in line Thursday
morning to apply for a handgun permit.
But when he tried to register his semi-automatic weapon, he says he was
rejected. He says his gun has seven bullet clip. Heller says the City
Council legislation allows weapons with fewer than eleven bullets in the
clip. A spokesman for the DC Police says the gun was a bottom-loading
weapon, and according to their interpretation, all bottom-loading guns
are outlawed because they are grouped with machine guns.

As in?
Machineguns, incorporation, and others?
Don't say that around here, people will get riled. It's a magazine or mag.
I'm not so sure about that, I think he has a revolver for duty.
I also recall that the first weapon he tried to register was a 9 shot revolver.

Heller tries to register gun, denied...
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...07/17/AR2008071700621.html?hpid=moreheadlines
Heller was denied the registration because he didn't have it with him, and was unable to register what the WP described as a "Colt .45" because it is a machinegun. Or something, it's not like it really is, but let's not let facts get in the way of legislation.
Mr. Gura, are you open for an encore?

He knew when he went in there he would be denied. I'm sure Mr Gura is well prepared for what's next.
One of Hellers attorney's was with him this morning for that

Of all the people to deny, WHY would they try to deny Heller??
Awesome! Great job Mr. Heller!!
He could have just registered a revolver and tried to play the Fenty denial of rights game. Instead he is resolving more issues.
D.C.was ordered by the SCOTUS to allow Heller to register his firearm. By choosing to tackle this issue himself he puts far more cards on the table than even someone else could doing the same thing.
A 1911 is one of the most common arms in America. It has been in common use for about 100 years. Another fine choice to argue the point.

Good, I would rather see a head-on like this immediately after the ruling.

The Washington Post reported that he was denied because he didn't bring his weapons with him.

I sincerely hope that the snickering mayor & attorney get shot down in the courts with their new, highly restrictive rules.

How could Heller and his attorney not know this?

I'll bet that if he'd gone in to register that semi-automatic machine gun, they'd have arrested him for it. Then they'd play "you give me this, we'll give you that" with him.
