NRA Lawsuit Seeks Constitutional Right To Keep An Unsecured, Loaded Gun In The Home | In 2007, San Francisco passed a law prohibiting handguns in a home from being left out in the open. Owners must lock the gun away in a container or disable with a trigger lock. Naturally, San Francisco is now fighting the National Rifle Association (NRA) to keep the law on the books. The NRA claims that the law violates a constitutional right “to possess an operable handgun ready for immediate use and loaded with proper ammunition for self defense,” which it claims is a “civil right” under the Second Amendment. San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors unanimously approved new legislation that added more facts to justify the law, including studies and statistics that “suggest, among other things, suicides and accidental shootings are more likely to happen when there are unsecured guns in people’s homes.”
