Veterans For America First Official Ambassador, Hon. Mr. Richard ‘Dick’ Heller (‘#GunDude) is more commonly known as ‘The Godfather of The Second Amendment’- and for good reason. “if not me, then who?”- Dick Heller. Dick Heller is a highly-decorated United States Army Airborne Veteran, Second Amendment Champion due to the ground-breaking 2008 United States Supreme Court DC v Heller decision, Women’s Rights’ and Self-Defense Advocate based in Washington, DC.
Dick Heller, Hero
Prima facie, Hon. Mr. Richard ‘Dick’ Heller, Founder and Executive Director of The Heller Foundation and Official Ambassador of Veterans For America First, is a nationally renowned Second Amendment advocate. In general, Dick Heller’s most notorious gun case was the first time the United States Supreme Court is entitled D.C. v Heller (2008) and was the first and biggest Second Amendment victory ever (to-date) that overturned the 1976 DC Gun Ban. Since 2008, Justice Scalia’s binding precedent set forth in the DC v Heller (2008) decision ultimately set the stage for over 250 new gun cases nationwide as a direct result of and because of the Heller decision.
Moreover, in his capacity as a private citizen, Mr. Heller has spent decades advocated for gun-rights- and also as DC Armed Special Police Officer. Ironically, when the initial, first ‘Heller case’ (that ultimately lead to the 2008 SCOTUS decision years later), Heller v. DC (I) was filed – formerly known as Parker vs. DC – he was working at the Supreme Court Annex – Thurgood Marshall Federal Judicial Center .According to the official Heller Foundation website (www.HellerFoundation.org),- “In addition to his commitment to 2nd Amendment Freedoms, Heller is actively involved in the DC Community. In 1984, he founded the “Children’s Birthright Trust Fund” – a charity that supports and raises funds for youth projects, such as computer access – and has taught classes on entrepreneurship in both DC public schools and DC housing projects. He has also served as the Treasurer of The DC Libertarian Party from 2004 until 2011 and was actively involved with Dr. Ron Paul’s two Presidential Bids – Libertarian and Republican.”
Before his time as a 2nd Amendment All-Star proponent, Dick Heller had already proven his heroic nature and courage by voluntarily serving his country to fight for our American freedoms and system of beliefs- in uniform. Mr. Heller served in the United States Army where he served his country- being deployed overseas in the military on a multitude missions- for many years as a Paratrooper in the 101st Airborne division. After honorably serving in the United States Army, Dick Heller worked his way through Montgomery College in Silver Spring, MD (earning an AA in Engineering) and completed one year of MBA studies in London’s Kingston Polytech. His previous jobs consisted of: Bank Teller, Data Technician at NASA-Greenbelt, IT Consultant and Investment Banker.
The Heller Foundation, Founder
Dick Heller became interested in 2nd Amendment Liberties when his house was shot up – once through his living room window and once in the front door – in the 1970’s at his residence on Capitol Hill. He realized that the 1976 DC Gun Ban was disarming good citizens yet criminals were still bearing arms. Heller did not find the situation to be moral, safe, or constitutional and realized that – –
“Doing nothing was no longer an option !”- Hon. Mr. Richard ‘Dick’ Heller.
