The case challenges gun registration laws in the District of Columbia and argues that they violate the Second Amendment. The court holds that intermediate scrutiny is the appropriate standard for reviewing these laws, and the District must demonstrate that the requirements are substantially related to an important governmental objective that is narrowly tailored to achieve the desired objective. The court finds that the District has not met this burden, and the case is remanded for further evidentiary proceedings to determine the constitutionality of certain requirements as they apply to long guns.
