Someone explain how this and DC v. Heller lock horns?

It doesn't. It has been a progression:

  1. DC v. Heller eliminated the ban on firearms in DC. DC responded by only allowing possession within your home.
  2. Palmer v. DC eliminated the ban on carrying firearms outside the home. DC responded by enacting a CHL law that required the applicant to "show need".
  3. This ruling eliminates the provision to "show need" for a CHL.

You seem to be a man in the know... Good deal.

BTW, what was your tagline?

Can't you just feel LIBTARD heads all over DC and indeed in NYC (Bloomberg) and Soros wherever HE is, just exploding?

Just read about the Heller case in Mike Lee's excellent book, "The Lost Constitution." I got the impression it was 'case closed' after the Heller decision, because it was a Supreme Court decision. Between Heller eliminating the ban on firearms in D.C. and the Second Amendment, the discussion was finally over - for all of us.

Why doesn't Heller + The Second Amendment supersede all gun laws everywhere?

Guess the libs never quit pushing the 'forward' agenda. Ever vigilant. .

Any ideas on what their next trick will be in DC?
