DC Gun Ban… Banned!

Filed under: General Ranting, Second Amendment — HDW @ 5:13 pm

Now a story near and dear to my heart. The Second Amendment. Apparently the DC Court of Appeals has decided that it actually says what it says it does. Brilliant!

Of course everybody is talking about it.

This looks to me like the DC Court of Appeals has essentially struck down the entire DC gun ban with this decision. – Cold Fury

In dissent Judge Karen Henderson, a Reagan appointee, countered that the Second Amendment did not properly apply to the case, as prior caselaw, statute, and the Constitution itself recognized that the District of Columbia is not a state subject to the jurisdiction of the Bill. – JURIST

If the ban is indeed lifted, I plan to exercise my constitutional right to own a gun in the District of Columbia. I can’t wait to buy my first piece! – La Shawn Barber

I have no doubt that this is going to the US Supreme Court. This is actually a very high risk gamble. IF the gun ban is struck down, it will have major implications. If not, no gun regulation will be deemed “unreasonable.” – John Lott

We almost had to create a special category named “Fan-Freaking-TASTIC” especially for this post, since “Good News” doesn’t really do it justice. – Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler
