USCA Case #14-7071 Document #1573768 Filed: 09/18/2015 Page 28 of 46 28 logical conclusion, that reasoning would justify a total ban on firearms kept in the home. See Parker v. District of Columbia, 478 F.3d 370, 400 (D.C. Cir. 2007), aff'd sub nom. Heller I (rejecting the District’s argument that a ban on one type of gun was constitutional because the “prohibition ... [did] not threaten total disarmament” and noting that, if such argument were adopted “[i]t could similarly be contended that all firearms may be banned so long as sabers were permitted”). II. Conclusion For the reasons set forth above, the district court’s final order is AFFIRMED with respect to: the basic registration requirement as applied to long guns, D.C. Code §7- 2502.01(a); the requirement that a registrant be fingerprinted and photographed and make a personal appearance to register a firearm, D.C. Code § 7-2502.04; the requirement that an individual pay certain fees associated with the registration of a firearm, D.C. Code § 7-2502.05; and the requirement that registrants complete a firearms safety and training course, D.C. Code § 7-2502.03(a)(13). The district court’s order is REVERSED with respect to the requirement that a person bring with him the firearm to be registered, D.C. Code § 7- 2502.04(c); the requirement that a gun owner re-register his firearm every three years, D.C. Code § 7-2502.07a; the requirement that conditions registration of a firearm upon passing a test of knowledge of the District’s firearms laws, D.C. Code § 7-2502.03(a)(10); and the prohibition on registration of “more than one pistol per registrant during any 30-day period,” D.C. Code § 7-2502.03(e). So ordered.
