The case of District of Columbia v. Heller was appealed by the District of Columbia government. The appeal was made to the Supreme Court after the D.C. Circuit Court ruled that the city's handgun ban was unconstitutional, violating the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the lower court's decision, affirming an individual's right to possess firearms for self-defense within the home.

What is DC vs heller?

Dick A. Heller, a security officer, tried registering a handgun to keep at home for self-defense, but was denied the right by Washington D.C. officials. Eventually, he worked his way up to the famous case, "D.C. v. Heller." The case was a landmark for Second Amendment rights activists because it's the first time in about 70 years that the Supreme Court directly addressed the scope of the Second Amendment, concluding that it is an individual right to bear arms, which is unconnected to service in the militia.
