Richard Mack on Heller: ?Former Graham County Sheriff
Richard Mack said he was pleased with the court?s
decision. The court previously ruled in Mack?s favor in
1997 when he challenged the legality of some aspects of the Brady
Act. The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was signed into
law by President Bill Clinton on Nov. 30, 1993. The law required
chief law enforcement officers to perform background checks on an
interim basis on persons buying handguns until the federal
government?s system was up and running. Mack believed
requiring local law enforcement to perform the background checks
was unconstitutional. ?After fighting and being involved
in the gun rights cause, I was so elated the Supreme Court
addressed the issue,? he said. ?It?s a
little unsettling and a little scary (however), that there are
four judges that don?t understand the Second
Amendment.?
