Dick Heller \u2013 the named plaintiff in the historic 2A victory known as Heller v. District of Columbia <\/em>\u2013 has another notch on his gun, so to speak. It was his lawsuit that led to the twenty-round limit being righteously kicked off the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The limit had been meaningless, since anyone planning to rob or terrorize (let alone kill) would certainly ignore an ammo limit law. And, if such a criminal was captured alive, the \u201cexcess ammo\u201d violation would be the first charge to get tossed during the plea bargain process.
