Here is the response I received from the NRA:
QUOTE
Thank you for contacting the NRA-ILA. NRA is committed to repealing the District of Columbia’s handgun ban, whether in the courts or through the Congress. We applaud the U.S. Court of Appeals decision in the Parker case, and hope that decision is allowed to stand.
While we await further appeals in Parker, we are seeking congressional support for S. 1001 and H.R. 1399, by Sen. Hutchison (R-Tex.) and Reps. Ross (D-Ark.) and Souder (R-Ind.) respectively. Currently, 69 House members have cosponsored H.R. 1399 and 41 Senators have cosponsored S. 1001.
Introduction of these bills poses no threat in itself to the Parker litigation. To the contrary, sponsorship of these bills provides members of the House and Senate with an opportunity to express their continued support for restoring the Second Amendment rights of District residents.
Sincerely,
Amanda Millward
