look at part C of their brief...they use the argument basically that there is no right to a handgun and that the second amendment is a collective right (well basically...not in actual words)


edit: on further reading they dont refute that there is an individual right...they refute that its main purpose was self-defense and go on to argue that its main purpose was to allow for the states to arm a militia...and therefore should not be incorporated.....

still a very silly argument
