Heller, 128 S. Ct. 2783 (2008) (No. 07-290) [hereinafter Brief for Amici Curiae]. Given their opposition to the District's regulation, one might ask why these legislators did not prefer to legislate.

Although neither major party candidate for president took issue with Heller's outcome after the fact, see 2008central.net, McCain and Obama Statements on DC v. Heller, June 26, 2008, http://2008central.net/2008/06/26/ mccain-and-obama-statements-on-dc-v-heller, it is worth noting that John McCain signed the aforementioned amicus brief while Barack Obama did not.

The self-defensive cognition of self-defense
-
18-19
-
This Article relies on many empirical studies. They will be unfamiliar to most lawyers, and some readers might wish to minimize the studies' value for constitutional decisionmaking. Indeed, the facial plausibility of the data might be influenced by the reader's feelings about gun control. See, e.g., Dan M. Kahan &. Donald Braman, The Self-Defensive Cognition of Self-Defense, 45 AM. CRIM. L. REV. 1, 18-19 (2008). But for our purposes, these empirical studies are essential. We have made best efforts to accurately recount the findings therein and to draw only logically supportable conclusions therefrom. The data will not, however, perfectly measure the psychological or emotional impact of gun rights and gun ownership. The happiness, satisfaction, fear, and distress arising from the prevalence of guns in America are difficult to measure precisely. Note also that judicial understandings of constitutional rights can influence the rendering of ordinary law. Statutory interpretation may be influenced by constitutional doubt, and Heller might instigate new constitutional doubt when courts interpret statutes. We set aside the difficult project of predicting and estimating these effects after Heller.

This estimate is based on two sources: federal tax records on sales and a survey. First, the number of new guns added each year is taken from tax data kept by the federal government on manufactures, imports, and exports. The annual count of net additions can be cumulated over, for example, the last century, with some assumption about the rate of removal through such mechanisms as off-the-books exports, breakage, and police confiscation.

Philip J. Cook, The Technology of Personal Violence, in CRIME AND JUSTICE: A REVIEW OF RESEARCH 1, 37-38 (Michael Tonry ed., 1991). The second basis for estimating the stock is the one-time National Survey of the Personal Ownership of Firearms (NSPOF), conducted in 1994. This is the only survey that has attempted to determine the number of guns in private hands. A number of other surveys, including the General Social Survey, provide an estimate of the prevalence of gun ownership among individuals and households but do not attempt to determine the average number of guns per gun owner. "The NSPOF estimate for the number of guns in 1994 was 192 million, a number that is compatible with the 'sales accumulation' method, assuming that just 15 percent of the new guns sold since 1899 have been discarded or destroyed."

The benefits of reducing gun violence: Evidence from contingent-valuation survey data
-
213-14
-
See Jens Ludwig & Philip J. Cook, The Benefits of Reducing Gun Violence: Evidence From Contingent-Valuation Survey Data, 22 J. RISK & UNCERTAINTY 207, 213-14 (2001). This estimate is intended to capture the costs of gun misuse and so ignores the benefits to society of widespread gun ownership-in the same way that studies of the social costs of automobile accidents ignore the benefits of driving. The figure comes, in part, from contingent-valuation (CV) responses about what people say they would pay to reduce crime-related gun violence by 30 percent. One potential concern is that these estimates assume that societal willingness to pay to reduce gun violence, is linear with the proportion of gun violence, eliminated, which may not be the case. And in practice there remains some uncertainty about the reliability of the CV measurement technology. In any case, most of the estimated costs of gun violence in the. United States appear to come from crime, insofar as suicide is treated as a private concern, and the estimated costs of gun crime fits comfortably next to more recent CV estimates for the social costs of crime more generally.

The politics of judicial review
-
See supra notes 3-4 (citing polling and majority congressional opposition to flat handgun bans). There is a large empirical literature on the determinants of judicial behavior which we will not delve into here. See, e.g., Barry Friedman, The Politics of Judicial Review, 84 TEX. L. REV. 257 (2005). For the classic view of the Court as sticking close to national governing coalitions,

Is sued again over handgun rules
-
July 29
-
The District's first temporary legislative reaction to Heller allowed registration of handguns (excluding semi-automatics) for in-home self-defense (after a ballistics test), and allowed trigger locks to be removed when the owner reasonably feared imminent harm in the home. See Del Quentin Wilber & Paul Duggan, D.C. Is Sued Again Over Handgun Rules, WASH. POST, July 29, 2008, at BOl. The District's second round of temporary legislation can be found at Second Firearms Control Emergency Act of 2008, available at http://mpdc.dc.gov/ mpdc/frames.aspidoc=/mpdc/lib/mpdc/info/pdf/2ndFire armsControl-Act.pdf.

§§ 8-20-040(a), 8-20-050(c)
-
Plaintiffs are challenging Chicago's handgun ban, see CHI., ILL., MUN. CODE §§ 8-20-040(a), 8-20-050(c) (2008) (noting exceptions), as well as the city's requirement that firearms be registered before acquisition and then re-registered annually, see id. §§ 8-20-090(a), 8-20-200. However, Chicago law seems to differ from the District of Columbia's regime at issue in Heller, in that Chicago does not appear to mandate a trigger lock on all firearms in the home at all times. Whether any such difference will influence the outcome of litigation remains to be seen.

987 P.2d 73, 77 n.1, 78 n.2 Wash. (declining to conform state constitutional doctrine to a U.S. Supreme Court opinion on the Fourth Amendment).
-
One caveat is the possibility that state, courts' understanding of state constitutional gun rights could be influenced by the Supreme Court's understanding of the Second Amendment, regardless of incorporation, and that the latter understanding could turn out to be expansive. Assessing the likelihood of this possibility is difficult. Even if the Supreme Court does take an expansive view of the amendment, state courts need not follow. See, e.g., State v. Parker, 987 P.2d 73, 77 n.1, 78 n.2 (Wash. 1999) (declining to conform state constitutional doctrine to a U.S. Supreme Court opinion on the Fourth Amendment).

Second amendment plumbing after Heller: Of standards of scrutiny, incorporation, well regulated militias, and criminal street gangs

Lawrence Rosenthal, Second Amendment Plumbing After Heller: Of Standards of Scrutiny, Incorporation, Well Regulated Militias, and Criminal Street Gangs, 41 URB. LAW. 1, 37-48 (2009) (raising concerns about the potential effects of an extension of Heller). However, Terry stops might often be justified on alternative grounds not necessarily related to illegal gun possession, such as suspicion of drug crimes or even curfew violations. Before confidently predicting the implications of extending Heller for stop-and-frisk tactics, we need to know how often alternative grounds for a stop are available, and whether substantive criminal law might be expanded to generate those grounds. These kinds of adjustments would not be shocking in the field of law enforcement. In any event, the officer safety justification for the stop-and-frisk doctrine seems adequate to preserve pat downs and weapons seizures during certain police-citizen encounters regardless of whether police suspect unlawful or lawful gun possession.

See Terry, 392 U.S. at 23-24, 29-30. Nor should we assume that, if Heller were, extended to public places, Terry doctrine will remain static. However, a remaining hitch for police officers might be their authority to keep seized weapons at the end of a street encounter if the citizen is not arrested, lawfully possesses the firearm, and asks for the weapon back on the spot. These interchanges might be risky for police officers, and yet a right to demand immediate return of the weapon could follow from a broad view of the Second Amendment.

note

The policy analysis is complicated by the choice between rights to carry concealed as opposed to unconcealed weapons outside the home. If people have a right to carry handguns in public but the government mandates unconcealed carry for those who choose to do so, then potential aggressors would receive, reliable information regarding which would-be victims are most vulnerable. Not seeing a handgun would be closer to knowing that a person is not carrying one. Of course, it could be that unconcealed carry mandates cannot be effectively enforced. Nevertheless, such a regime of rights and regulations (public carry with mandatory nonconcealment) could be meaningfully different from a regime in which people have a legal right to choose whether or not to conceal the handguns that they choose to carry in public (public carry with optional concealment)-or in which government mandates concealment for any person otherwise entitled to possess a handgun in public (public carry with mandatory concealment). Each combination probably has different informational effects.

To be fair to the majority, the sales tax was not necessarily the correct baseline for comparison. Exemptions to the paper-and-ink tax meant that only a few large newspapers paid the tax.

Liability insurance & the regulation of firearms
-
supra note 92 299
-
Liability insurance, is an alternative mechanism for the internalization of externalities associated with gun ownership. A standard homeowners' insurance policy ordinarily covers liability for accidents involving guns, but often has an exemption for intentional harms, or even for harms resulting from criminal acts. See Tom Baker & Thomas O. Farrish, Liability Insurance & the Regulation of Firearms, in SUING THE GUN INDUSTRY, supra note 92, at 292, 299;

McCann eds., forthcoming 2009) (manuscript at 7), available at http://papers.ssni.com/soB/papers.cfm? abstract-id=1314309. It is not clear how far liability or liability coverage extends for cases in which the gun is transferred by the owner to someone else, or is stolen, and then misused. To the best of our knowledge, no states or localities require gun owners to obtain such insurance. The threat of litigation following Heller could stifle local experiments with such policies.

Relationship between licensing, Registration and other gun sales laws and the source state of crime guns
-
The public safety consequence of repealing licensing and registration systems is a bit unclear based on available evidence. These systems do provide information regarding who owns which guns, infonnation that could prove useful to law enforcement investigations. The most vivid example is in the future. The California law requiring pistols sold after 2010 to have micro-stamp capability will be more useful if the state is allowed to continue handgun registration; the regulatory combination should help investigators connect shell casings found at the scene of a crime to the current or recent owner of the gun. Unfortunately, evaluation of existing state-level licensing and registration systems is forced to rely on weak research designs, yielding evidence for regulatory impact on immediate output measures but not on outcomes of more direct policy interest. For example, D.W. Webster et al., Relationship Between Licensing, Registration and Other Gun Sales Laws and the Source State of Crime Guns, 7 INJ. PREVENTION 184 (2001), finds some effect of licensing and registration requirements on the fraction of confiscated crime guns that were first purchased out of state. See id. at 188. How informative this is about the ease with which criminals can obtain guns, or ultimately the overall rate of gun crime within a community, is unclear. A study of the federal Brady Act suggests the ability of the secondary gun market to shift, and at least partially offset, changes to the supply side of the market. After the Brady Act was enacted, Chicago experienced a large, drop in the share of crime guns first sold out of state, yet the fraction of homicides committed with a gun did not seem to change at all.

See, e.g., KATHLEEN M. SULLIVAN & GERALD GÜNTHER, FIRST AMENDMENT LAW 204-0.5 (3d ed. 2007). There are other theories that might support anti-targeting themes and yet still weaken the case for substantial burdens tests; perhaps a targeted burden amounts to a special form of injury.

Samaha, supra note 158, at 631-33, 662-67 (discussing coordination theories of authority for our constitutional text). A provocative argument for valuing constitutional debate precisely for its ability to combat entrenchment is LOUIS MICHAEL SEIDMAN, OUR UNSETTLED CONSTITUTION: A NEW DEFENSE OF CONSTITUTIONALISM AND JUDICIAL REVIEW 55, 210-16 (2001). In this regard, consider that Heller effectively disrupted a status quo in judicial review against Second Amendment claims.

Undue process
-
608-09, 667-68
-
See supra note 4. It is possible that the Senate's commitment to supermajority votes for cloture against filibusters led this simple majority of Congress members to prefer constitutional litigation to ordinary legislation. If so, the shift to litigation is a consequence of the legislators' own institutional design choices. On constitutional objections to the filibuster, see Adam M. Samaha, Undue Process, 59 STAN. L. REV. 601, 608-09, 667-68 (2006).
