Oleg Volk is trying to raise money for Heller II, or perhaps we should call it Hellerbound: Hellerraiser II. Sorry, Uncle flipped the cheesy switch with his amply appropriate alliteration.
UPDATE: PayPal Link here. Sorry folks, doesn’t look like they have money for a good web developer either :)
UPDATE: According to Oleg and Dick Heller in the comments below, they have secured volunteer services of a web designer.
UPDATE: For those who might feel more comfortable donating to the Civil Rights Defense Fund, just follow the link. They are helping support Mr. Heller’s case as well.
Whats Heller II about?
The rest of DC’s restrictions.
You know, I was just about to donate, but I couldn’t figure out what exactly I was donating for. Or where. I’m more than happy to donate if they get their act together.
Ok, I think I figured out where I’m supposed to donate:
http://www.hellerfoundation.org/Help_HELLER_Gun_Cases.html
Instead of saying something like, oh I don’t know, “DONATE” – it says “help heller gun cases”. Also, it’s one of the least friendly websites I’ve seen in a while. So yeah, when they get their act together I’ll donate. Right now I just can’t take them seriously. Also, the only payment option is PayPal.
The website makes me think any donation would just be throwing money away.
Yeah, sorry about that folks.
Uhm… Isn’t this an NRA case and therefor shouldn’t the donations be going to the appropriate NRA entity and not what looks like Dick Heller’s pocket?

That’s a good point, Gene. I know it’s Halbrook on the case, but I’m not sure who’s paying for it.
A commenter at Oleg’s brought up a good point: This looks like it involves way too many issues simultaneously to make a good SCOTUS case – which could explain why Alan Gura doesn’t seem to be involved.
Gene Hoffman: You’ve raised another good point. Is this being backed by SAF, NRA, or some other established organization? If not, then why not? If so, then why are we not donating to that organization directly?
I’m hesitant to donate to the Heller Foundation for those reasons. I’d say a little more digging is in order, first.
Guys, I found a volunteer (pro-level) web design team for Heller, so that web site is getting a major update for content and usability. I agree that it’s not much right now: http://olegvolk.livejournal.com/970301.html
Thanks for helping.
We
got to the Supreme Court with no official office location
and on half a shoestring budget of my security guard paycheck.
“Security Guard”
was part of our Strategy —
They’ll GIVE me a gun but I still couldn’t OWN a gun !!
NOW,
we are trying to clear up all the roadblocks & hurdles to ownership that “elitist” authoritarian govts can throw at us in DC/Chicago/CAL, etc.
UN-Friendly page only because I’m not a web jock…
I could not find the donate link either.
We finally have some pros helping us RE-DO the website.
Thanks * cheer-z,
Dick HELLER.
I’m in for twenty.
Good to see you here, Mr. Heller!
Heller 2: Electric Boogaloo
Proud Heller supporter and sponsor here. :)
In a nutshell, Heller II attacks the following DC restrictions:
– large capacity magazine ban,
– semi-automatic rifle ban,
– the onerous and expensive process to register a handgun in DC.
MIKE,felt I needed to follow up. So, searched for the Heller website and got http://www.hellerfoundation.com & obviously that’s Dicks site
What’s wrong wit that website? paypal stuff works fine. Don see the same issues you have had. Said donate right on site.
CARL, felt I needed to follow up.
Here’s what the site looked like when I was having massive amounts of trouble trying to figure out what it was all about:
