Washington Post: Meet Bob Levy, the man behind the case to overturn DC's gun ban
Nice piece on Bob. He certainly deserves the coverage.
Meet the lawyer who conceived the lawsuit that gutted the District's tough gun-control statute this month. Meet the lawyer who recruited a group of strangers to sue the city and bankrolled their successful litigation out of his own pocket.
Meet Robert A. Levy, staunch defender of the Second Amendment, a wealthy former entrepreneur who said he has never owned a firearm and probably never will.
"I don't actually want a gun," Levy said by phone last week from his residence, a $1.7 million condominium in a Gulf Coast high-rise. "I mean, maybe I'd want a gun if I was living on Capitol Hill. Or in Anacostia somewhere. But I live in Naples, Florida, in a gated community. I don't feel real threatened down here." . . . .
Thanks to Dan Gifford for sending this to me.

Happily, the emphasis of the article is the U.S. Constitution. My only regret is that the Post did not give sufficient credit to Alan Gura, who has worked for next-to-minimum-wage and has been our legal superstar. Parker v. DC prevailed in major part because of Alan's prodigious efforts.
